  • Food as a strategic sector: Strengthening EU commitment to sustainable food procurement

    Despite its potential, strategic and sustainable food procurement remains underutilised due to procedural complexities, legal uncertainties, and administrative burdens. In our joint letter to EU leaders, we call for a targeted simplification - while fully maintaining high health, social, labour, animal welfare, and environmental standards - to provide greater clarity, practical guidance, and legal certainty for contracting authorities and economic operators alike.
