Abstract

On 20 December 2011, the European Commission tabled the so-called public procurement modernisation package, adopted by the Council on 11 February 2014 . The modernisation package consists of a revision of the classical and sector directives, as well as a new concessions directive, which all have to be transposed by the Member States until 18 April 2016. This contribution surveys the changes that the new classical directive 2014/24/EU introduces with respect to green public procurement. It discusses in particular the issue of eco-labelling, taking into account the Dutch Eco-Labels case law, and the body of green procurement framing measures that complement the modernisation package.

Keywords: public procurement, eco-labelling, modernisation package, green procurement
