4. Informed decision-making by consumers should be facilitated.
5. Public procurement should require green solutions.
6. Public planning and investments should be based on the objective of becoming a
low emission society by 2050.
7. A life cycle perspective should be the basis for public investments and procurement.
8. New legislative proposals should include an evaluation of CO2 effects where relevant.
9. Green competitiveness should be built on well-functioning markets.
10. There should be consistent reporting on what we want to achieve and what we want to avoid.
