45As regards economic operators of those third countries, it should be noted that, although EU law does not preclude those economic operators, in the absence of exclusion measures adopted by the European Union, from being allowed to participate in a public procurement procedure governed by Directive 2014/25, it does, however, preclude those economic operators from being able, in the context of their participation in such a procedure, to rely on that directive and thus to require that their tender be treated equally to those submitted by tenderers from Member States and by the tenderers from third countries referred to in Article 43 of that directive.
