ABSTRACT

With prospects estimated at €60bn by the French PPP unit MAPPP (Mission d’Appui aux Partenariats Publics-Privés), 1 including the major investment needed for the upgrade and construction of sporting venues ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament, and a long-standing tradition of using traditional public service concession schemes, the French public-private partnerships (PPP) market is generally considered as one of the most active and promising markets in Europe.
