Amendment 71 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Acknowledges that it may be hard to calculate the climate footprint of a product or service, e.g. in the case of food and also in some cases complicated by unnecessary long distance transport of life animals for food; considers that it should be expressly permitted to require that the transport of food to the purchaser must not give rise to more than a certain number of grams of CO2 emissions; considers that the requirement of using taxpayers' money effectively, together with other requirements and rules which guide public procurement, will deter elected representatives from imposing such conditions when there is no justification for doing so.
