General questions

 

What is the purpose of this questionnaire?

In 2006, the European Council announced its ambition to bring the average EU level of Green Public Procurement up to the standards currently achieved by the best performing Member States. This target calls for robust GPP indicators, which allow the measurement of the current GPP levels in the best performing Member States. The purpose of the questionnaire is to provide insights and results on the level of GPP for these countries.
