"Public procurement should, across the board, include principles like maximising social wellbeing or protecting the environment, so the purchase of goods and services by the public authorities, using public funds, should effectively meet the needs of the public in each Member State and should do so whilst safeguarding respect for criteria of economic, social and environmental sustainability. However, the creation and development of a European public procurement market, under the specific conditions in which the European integration process is currently taking place, does not safeguard these objectives. At bottom, what is intended with this initiative is to clear the way towards a market worth around 17% of EU GDP for large companies. With the imbalances currently existing within the EU, and the extremely serious situation faced by the weaker economies, public procurement could be geared towards the national preference in those Member States. This would stimulate national production, the activity of small and medium-sized enterprises, and shorter supply chains that are more socially and environmentally sustainable. It would therefore constitute an important instrument for economic recovery for the growth and development that is essential, and would enable the deficits and obstacles faced today to be overcome."@en1
