Direktiv om grønne offentlige udbud |
2008/ENV/017 |
Public purchasers in the EU yearly spend some 16 % of the overall EU Gross Domestic. By including environmental requirements in public tendering procedures, public authorities can give strong signals to the market place and drive it towards the production of more environmental friendly products and services, hence reducing the environmental impact of public expenditure and stimulating eco-innovation and competitiveness of bidding companies. The IA of the Communication on GPP (to be adopted in February 2008) concluded that mandatory GPP targets and measures seem necessary, and pointed at the need to carry out an additional impact assessment to examine costs and benefits of complementary mandatory policy options. |
