The Commission should present to the Member States a draft agreement setting out
            the practical arrangements governing the procurement activities. Given the potentially
            large number of participating entities involved, that draft agreement should be
            negotiated and initially concluded between the Commission and the Member States
            willing to participate. It should lay down the conditions and procedure by which Union
            entities as well as other Member States, contracting authorities of Member States and
            partner organisations selected by the Commission may subsequently accede to and
            benefit from it. The agreement will enter into force in accordance with its provisions,
            subject to the approval of at least two Member States. Although the Commission
            should, as far as possible, aim to address the common needs of participating entities,
            this should not be construed as an obligation to satisfy needs that are specific to a
            limited number of them.
