Stakeholders invited to shape review of EU GPP transport criteria

The Joint Research Centre's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS), a European Commission research agency, is asking stakeholders in the field of transport to help revise the existing EU GPP criteria for Transport. The JRC-IPTS is currently conducting a study into the existing EU GPP criteria for Transport, the results of which will be used to inform the criteria review process. A wide-variety of stakeholders are invited to take part in the criteria consultation process, from local government officials to transport service providers, manufacturers to consumer organisations.

Respondents are requested to fill out a questionnaire, which registers whether they agree or disagree with the current definition of technical specifications, award criteria, and contract performance clauses for a range of transport areas. The JRC-IPTS has said that it is particularly interested in feedback regarding practical implementation of the current criteria.

Those taking the survey are encouraged to propose revised definitions for transport-related criteria, and will be provided with an annex that gives background information on the current criteria. The questionnaire should be returned by 19 February 2016 to JRC-IPTS-GPP-TRANSPORT@ec.europa.eu.
