Translations:Responsible Public Procurement/11/en

France : In the 1990s, Strasbourg was pioneer in the implementation of social clauses in their public contracts. The reform of the public procurement code in 2006 and later in July 2015, stated to take into account social (anti-discrimination, for example) and environmental aspects in a perspective of sustainable development. It was reinforced by the SSE law of 30 July 2014. In Spain, Law 9/2017 was passed, for a public procurement in support of common social objectives. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland published a Guide to Socially Responible Public Procurement in 2017. The European Parliament adopted Directives 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU on public procurement for "smart, sustainable and inclusive growth", with an emphasis on Fair Trade.
