In fact the opinion of the advocate-general supports very strongly the view of the City of Helsinki that a public procurement authority should have the right to set environmentally-friendly criteria which it will use in its competitive tender, and also to select products in compliance with this.
Vel at mærke støtter udtalelsen fra juristen stærkt Helsinki bys holdning om, at en myndighed for offentlige indkøb bør have ret til at fastlægge miljøvenlige kriterier i sin licitation, og at den også kan vælge produkter i overensstemmelse med disse.
