49The need to comply with the principle of proportionality is also reflected in the first subparagraph of Article 57(6) of Directive 2014/24, according to which any economic operator who, inter alia, is in the situation referred to in Article 57(4)(a) of that directive including, as is apparent from paragraph 43 of the present judgment, by the effect of a failure found in respect of a subcontractor indicated in the tender, may provide evidence to show that the measures it has taken are sufficient to demonstrate its reliability despite the existence of that ground for exclusion. The first subparagraph of Article 57(6) of Directive 2014/24 specifies that, if such evidence is considered sufficient, the economic operator concerned must not be excluded from the contract award procedure. That provision thus introduces a mechanism for corrective measures (self-cleaning) which underlines the importance attaching to the reliability of the economic operator (judgment of 19 June 2019, Meca, C‑41/18, EU:C:2019:507, paragraphs 40 and 41).
