EIC shares FIDIC´s viewpoint that standardisation, both in technical and administrative matters, is more likely to result in the satisfactory and trouble-free execution of projects. One of EIC’s contribution to the improvement of standard forms of contract was the publication of guides to FIDIC’s 1999 new standard forms of contract (“New Books”) which we published between 2000 and 2003.

The base scenario selected by FIDIC is a “green-field” Design-Build-Operate project with a 20-year operation period. With respect to the Design-Build Period, the FIDIC DBO Contract borrows in large parts from the structure and the wording of the FIDIC 1999 “Yellow Book”, Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build, whereas the requirements regarding the Operation Service Period have been inserted in various provisions and most prominently in Clause 10.",{"type":18,"content":50},[51],{"text":52,"type":22},"Simultaneously, EIC has articulated reservations over certain provisions of the new standard form of contract.
