16In that regard, it must be recalled that, under the first subparagraph of Article 38(9) of Directive 2014/23, any economic operator which is in one of the situations referred to, inter alia, in paragraph 4 of that article may provide evidence to demonstrate that the measures it has taken are sufficient to demonstrate its reliability despite the existence of the ground for exclusion relied on and that, if that evidence is deemed sufficient, the economic operator concerned is not to be excluded from the procedure. That provision thus introduces a ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism (see, by analogy, as regards Article 57(6) of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC (OJ 2014 L 94, p. 65), which equates to Article 38(9) of Directive 2014/23, judgment of 30 January 2020, Tim, C‑395/18, EU:C:2020:58, paragraph 49 and the case-law cited).
