Abstract
EU Law, gradually, has incorporated the possibility of clauses related to social and work issues in public procurement. The historical evolution of this normative shows clearly the length of this slow itinerary; nonetheless, the new Directive 2014/18/EU can be seen as a herald of the consolidation of this trend. The case law of the European Court of Justice, on the other hand, has been erratic. In a first moment, it admitted, without any legal base, the presence of this type of clauses in the public legal traffic. Next, with the emblematic rulings Rüffer and Bundesdruckerei, the tables turned completely, imposing the most severe respect for the economic freedoms. Surprisingly, the recent ruling Regiopost has changed again the trend, betting firmly on the possibility of clauses establishing minimum wages.
