• Description:
  The aim of the considerations is to determine whether and to what extent selected EU Member States – Italy, France, Spain and Poland – have applied legal instruments to promote local food systems through public procurement, and in particular, whether they have provided for the food rooting criterion, or the localism food clause which favours food which is geographically closer, to be applied in the public procurement process. The conducted considerations show that both Italian, French and Spanish legislations have incorporated the localism food clause, though differently in each Member State: in Italy and Spain through regional regulations that explicitly contain such a clause, in France – through the institutionalisation of the Territorial Food Projects. Direct delivery, or even “local” products criteria are also included in the school food regulations of these countries. In Poland, on the contrary, neither the public procurement law nor food school regulations favour local food systems, as they completely ignore the criteria relating to the characteristics of the products related to their origin or delivery method.;
  L’articolo si propone di determinare se e in quale misura alcuni Paesi dell’UE scelti – Italia, Francia, Spagna e Polonia – abbiano adottato strumenti giuridici per promuovere i sistemi alimentari locali negli appalti pubblici, e in particolare se hanno previsto un criterio di radicamento del cibo oppure una clausola sulla natura locale del cibo che favorisca gli alimenti geograficamente più vicini negli appalti pubblici. Dalle considerazioni svolte emerge che sia la legislazione italiana, francese che quella spagnola, anche se non in ugual misura in ognuno di questi Stati membri, abbia previsto una clausola sulla natura locale del cibo: in Italia e Spagna - grazie a normative regionali che prevedono tale clausola in modo esplicito, in Francia – istituzionalizzando i Progetti Alimentari Territoriali. I criteri per l’approvvigionamento diretto e perfino dei prodotti “locali” sono anche inclusi nelle normative sull’alimentazione scolastica di questi Paesi. In Polonia, invece, sia la legge sugli appalti pubblici che la normativa sui pasti scolastici non favorisce i sistemi alimentari locali in quanto fa completamente a meno dei criteri relativi alle caratteristiche quali l’origine e la modalità di consegna dei prodotti.
