In France, PPP and concessions are governed by the Public Procurement Code. It covers partnership contracts (marchés de partenariat) and concession contracts, and calls the public side buyers and concession-granting authorities. France is an ICSID member and a party to the New York Convention, and it has left the Energy Charter Treaty.
