However, imposing environmental requirements may affect the conditions of competition between suppliers, especially between local and foreign ones. This is particularly relevant for signatory states to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), a plurilateral WTO agreement that aims at liberalizing public procurement markets. So how can these countries strike a balance between trade concerns and using the environmental potential of public procurement? What scope does the GPA 2012 leave for environmental criteria and how are signatory states making use of it? The need for answers to these questions is becoming even more pressing with the increasing use of green public procurement (GPP). This book discusses approaches to finding legal solutions to this question, using a multilayered approach to do so: In a first step, an analysis of the pertinent GPA provisions serves to delineate the scope for GPP under WTO law. In a second step, an evaluation of the implementation of the respective provision at the regional and national level by the EU and Switzerland helps reveal the impact of the GPA on its signatory states. While the book chiefly focuses on the legal framework for GPP, it also takes into account the latest developments in jurisprudence and policy initiatives. It concludes by proposing practical solutions regarding the specific design of GPP policies and measures in compliance with the GPA. The comparative approach applied in the book, focusing on the implementation of the WTO/GPA by two selected signatories, makes it an informative and insightful resource for practitioners, policymakers and legal scholars from all GPA signatory countries, extending its relevance beyond the selected examples (the EU and Switzerland). 410 0$aEuropean Yearbook of International Economic Law,$x2364-8406 ;$v9 410 0$aEuropean yearbook of international economic law,$pEYIEL monographs ;$v9 606 $aagreement on government procurement$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $apublic contract$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aenvironmental policy$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $ainternational law$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aWorld Trade Organisation$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $agreen public procurement$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aEU law$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aEuropean Union$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aSwitzerland$9eng$2EUROVOC 606 $aInternational law 606 $aCommercial law$zEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050 606 $aEuropean Economic Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20020 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 615 7$aagreement on government procurement. 615 7$apublic contract. 615 7$aenvironmental policy. 615 7$ainternational law. 615 7$aWorld Trade Organisation. 615 7$agreen public procurement. 615 7$aEU law. 615 7$aEuropean Union. 615 7$aSwitzerland. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aCommercial law 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aEuropean Economic Law. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 676 $a343.07 700 $aKoch$b Rika$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0977660 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416138403321 996 $aGreen public procurement under WTO Law$92227388 997 $aUNINA
