Abstract

This paper analyses the legal and financial implications of public-private partnerships. Especially, the article highlights the relevance that public-private partnerships have taken on to circumvent the restrictions imposed by European legislation on public deficit and debt. The European institutions have acted against the tendency of some Member States not to account these investments for budgetary purposes, taking into account when the risk of the operation lies with the public sector.
