49An ESPD is thus intended to give the contracting authority a precise and accurate picture of the situation of each economic operator which requests to participate in a public procurement procedure or which intends to submit a tender. In so doing, the ESPD gives concrete expression to the objective pursued by Articles 57 and 63 of Directive 2014/24, which is to enable the contracting authority to satisfy itself that each of the tenderers has integrity and is reliable and, consequently, that the relationship of trust with the economic operator concerned will not be broken (see, to that effect, judgments of 19 June 2019, Meca, C‑41/18, EU:C:2019:507, paragraph 29, and of 3 June 2021, Rad Service and Others, C‑210/20, EU:C:2021:445, paragraph 35).
