<p>The fifth <a href="images/stories/racionality6.pdf">Index of Rationality</a> is developed for the following five types of products, i.e., services:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>commission      rates charged by Agencies for Temporary Employment; </strong></li>
<li><strong>ISO 9001 Quality      Management System Standards; </strong></li>
<li><strong>antifreeze liquid</strong>;</li>
<li><strong>carwash services; and </strong></li>
<li><strong>bottled still water. </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The selection of Index-targeted products and services was made in compliance with their status of most commonly used products and services by national and local level institutions.</p>
<p>However, given that the methodology applied to develop the Index implies compassion of prices attained by at least five institutions and the fact that requested information is not always disclosed or, when disclosed, it is provided in a form that does not allow comparisons to be made, the development of relevant indices per products and services, in addition to information on public procurements organized in 2012, also includes information on procurements implemented in the previous years.</p>
