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.
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.
