Mandatory sustainability requirements in EU public procurement law: reflections on a paradigm shift
This book provides an appraisal of the paradigm shift towards mandatory sustainability requirements in EU public procurement law. Based on legal analysis informed by economic perspectives, the book aims to contribute to an understanding and critical discussion of the EU legislator's move towards regulating 'what to buy.' It discusses the role of the Public Procurement Directives in relation to this paradigm shift, as well as various other sectoral legislative instruments that have been revamped or newly introduced in light of the European Green Deal. The paradigm shift is analysed from different perspectives, including subsidiarity, alternative regulation, economics, and public purchasing. The book includes sectoral studies on transport, food, clothing, and construction, discussing how change is taking place and what its major challenges are for the future. Chapters on Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and more, offer case studies of member states that have already introduced mandatory requirements and highlight lessons learnt.
