50In that regard, it should be noted that the provisions of Directive 89/665, intended to protect tenderers against arbitrary behaviour on the part of the contracting authority, are designed to reinforce existing arrangements for ensuring the effective application of the EU rules on the award of public contracts, in particular where infringements can still be rectified (judgment in Fastweb, C‑19/13, EU:C:2014:2194, paragraph 34 and the case-law cited). Article 1(1) and (3) of Directive 89/665 requires effective remedies to be available ‘under detailed rules which the Member States may establish’, and in particular, as rapidly as possible, in accordance with the conditions set out in Articles 2 to 2f of that directive.
