Abstract

Public procurement, the process by which public authorities purchase work, goods or services, makes up a substantial part of the economies of the European Union Member States. This transforms the public procurement strategies and actions into a potentially strong instrument for governments to achieve economic, social, and environmental goals. But all these instruments depend substantially on the manner the public procurement system is managed, conducted and monitored. This paper analyses the European and national legislative framework in support of green public procurement and the possibilities foreseen public procurement legislation that allow public officials to „green” their purchases. As green public procurement is a voluntary instrument, the approach on environmental objectives varies within the Member States. Up to this moment, Romania has not adopted a National Action Plan for Green Procurement, making our country one of the last 4 European states that does not have one. The findings show that Romania has not effectively explored the possibility to approach environmental objectives through procurement regulation.
