Onderzoek: Monitoring opname groene criteria in the EU (2012)
wo 11 apr 2012 In the 2008 Communication “Public Procurement for a Better
Environment”, the European Commission set an indicative target that, by
2010, 50% of all public tendering procedures should be green in the EU,
where “green” means compliant with endorsed common core EU GPP criteria
for ten priority product/service groups such as construction, transport,
cleaning products and services.
In 2011, the Commission commissioned a study with the aim of
measuring if this target has been met. Since there are no systematic
statistics on GPP in the Member States, the Centre for European Policy
Studies and the College of Europe conducted a survey in which over 850
public authorities from 26 Member States participated. The respondents
provided detailed answers regarding the use of core G PP criteria in
the last contract they had signed for one of the ten product/service
groups and gave more general information on the "greenness" of their
overall procurement in the period 2009/2010. For this general part, the
study collected information on more than 230,000 contracts signed by
public authorities in 2009-2010, for a value of approx. 117.5 billion
Euros. The detailed results of this survey can be found in the report and the annex.
