EU GPP Criteria for Food and Catering Services open for consultation

On behalf of the DG Environment of the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS) is currently revising the EU Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria for Food and Catering Services. Stakeholder involvement is crucial for the success of the study's development. Those who are interested in registering as stakeholders and taking part in the consultation processes can do so by sending an email with their contact data to JRC-CATERING-SERVICES@ec.europa.eu.

The final criteria will work to ensure that environmental principles are taken into account at each stage of the procurement process. JRC-IPTS is looking for feedback on the revision for the criteria proposals related to food and catering services.

Through the project, the following tasks will be performed: definition and scope for the product group, market analysis; technical analysis and improvement potential. This will form the basis of the elaboration of draft criteria and technical reports.
