Summary/Abstract: This background paper provides legal overview of the regulatory arrangement and the practical implementation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in 11 countries: USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Poland as well as relevant European Union legislation. The profiles of the different countries allow comparison between the regulation of PPPs in them along four lines: (1) overview; (2) definition of PPPs; (3) types of PPPs; (4) application. The background paper summarizes the main PPP regulation types and juxtaposes them with the existing Bulgarian legislation. The paper concludes that the Bulgarian legislation currently does not cover any PPP relations outside classic forms such as public procurement and concessions and there is no specific mention of PPPs in the Bulgarian laws and regulations.
