Highlights - Briefing: The EU’s Public Procurement Framework - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

This briefing indicates that further action is needed to promote strategic public procurement and in particular Green Public Procurement requiring low carbon, life-cycle and circular approaches in public purchases. The EU should increase – in tandem with the provision of assistance and tools – the number of mandatory green procurement requirements, either through technical specifications in the sectoral directives or through delegated acts to the procurement directives.
