Abstract:

The successful formulation of the sustainability paradigm – in its many aspects: environmental, social and economic- spreading in many programmatic and strategic documents of international organizations and national governments carried out in the context of the present economic crisis, sets out important problems of legal interpretation when it comes to introducing them uncritically in standard-setting instruments.

Sustainable development is not a mere conceptual resource derived from the new trends on environmental economy but a real legal principle that can be translated into important requirements and mandates aimed to the rational use of natural resources and its protection on the future generations.

If the aim is to achieve efficiently these objectives, the reception of the sustainability criteria – or at least the environmental ones- in the

Commentary: “Decisive Boost In The Consolidation Of A Responsible Public Procurement. Green Contracts: From Ability To Obligation”

Title: “Decisive Boost In The Consolidation Of A Responsible Public Procurement. Green Contracts: From Ability To Obligation

Author: Patricia Valcárcel Fernández, Adjoint Doctor Professor of Administrative Law of University of Vigo

Reception date: March 28th, 2011

Acceptance date: April 4th, 2011

Doi: https://doi.org/10.56398/ajacieda.00197

Abstract:

The concern about environmental protection is a target that has made its way into different policies and actions promoted by the EU. Community regulations enacted in order to gradually harmonize public procurement procedures have also followed this tendency. In any case, taking into account that the individuals included in EU law scope are the main consumers in the great internal market, the integration of environmental criteria into public procurement procedures will constitute one of the best ways to implement the environmental principle of prevention.

Resumen:

La aplicación de la normativa relativa al control integrado de la contaminación está dando paso a una serie de pronunciamientos judiciales de interés. Algunos de ellos se han producido en el ámbito del Tribunal Supremo (v.g., STS 1 de diciembre de 2009). Otros, quizás más desapercibidos, se están sucediendo en otros niveles, pero no por ello pueden resultar de escaso interés. A continuación se examinan dos sentencias en relación con dos plantas sujetas a dicho sistema. Por una parte, una central térmica ubicada en Pasaia (Gipuzkoa) y, por otra, una refinería de petróleo que afecta a las localidades de Muskiz, Zierbena, y Abanto-Zierbena (Bizkaia).

Palabras clave: prevención y control integrados de la contaminación
