Abstract:

The concern about environmental protection is a target that has made its way into different policies and actions promoted by the EU. Community regulations enacted in order to gradually harmonize public procurement procedures have also followed this tendency. In any case, taking into account that the individuals included in EU law scope are the main consumers in the great internal market, the integration of environmental criteria into public procurement procedures will constitute one of the best ways to implement the environmental principle of prevention.
