The most notable difference between the FIDIC 2017 Yellow Book and its predecessor published in 1999 is that it is far more prescriptive. Indeed, the entire 2017 FIDIC suite of contracts has increased significantly in volume necessitating greater diligence by project teams. The success of the FIDIC 1999 edition lay perhaps in its robustness and simplicity. Additional prescription is welcome where the FIDIC 1999 Conditions were lacking clarity. However, the introduction of highly complex contractual processes and procedures and the attempt to anticipate all arguments that may be raised by way of dispute may well prove costly and, initially, more difficult to manage.",{"type":15,"content":43},[44],{"text":45,"type":19},"As a ‘friendly reviewer’, EIC has been reviewing the new and updated standard forms of contract published by FIDIC for more than fifty years. After preparing its own standard form of turnkey contract form back in 1994, the ‘EIC Turnkey Contract’, EIC drafted altogether five ‘EIC Contractor’s Guides’ on the FIDIC 1999 suite of construction contracts, including on FIDIC’s Design, Build and Operate form and on the so-called MDB Harmonised Construction Contract. These EIC commentaries were considered by the International Construction Law Review as ‘valuable, as they are the product of a responsible and reputable international organisation’.",{"type":15,"content":47},[48],{"text":49,"type":19},"EIC hereby kindly reproduces the article published in Volume 37, Part 3 July 2020, [2020] ICLR",[51],{"themes_id":52},{"url":53,"title":54},"contract-conditions","Contract Conditions",[],[57],{"directus_files_id":58},{"id":59,"title":60},"d26faeff-97ff-4645-9a95-32fca20ae387","ICLR EIC Contractor Yb Guide 2020",{"page":62,"themes":141,"articles":164,"conference":216,"conferences":229},{"title":63,"introduction":64,"cover":65,"highlights":67,"splash_images":95},"EIC Federation","EIC works since 1970 to strengthen the position and the image of European international contractors globally.
