The document examines the tension between the European Union's commitment to neoliberal public procurement rules and the need for strategic industrial policies to foster innovation and green energy. It highlights how the EU's adherence to international trade agreements, such as the GPA and GATT, limits the ability of member states to use local content requirements to stimulate domestic industries. The author contrasts the EU's approach with that of the US, Japan, and emerging economies like Brazil and China, who more aggressively use public procurement to support national industrial goals. A key example provided is the WTO dispute over Ontario's feed-in tariffs, where the Appellate Body's restrictive interpretation of 'public purpose' further limited the use of procurement for public policy goals. Despite this, some EU member states, such as France and Italy, have implemented local production requirements for photovoltaic energy to support their domestic sectors.

• The European Union has adopted a neoliberal approach to public procurement, prioritizing international competition and non-discrimination over the use of procurement as a strategic tool for industrial development.
• The EU has the highest level of commitment to the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) among signatories, applying national treatment rules to 85% of its public procurement, significantly more than the US (32%) or Japan (25%).
• Emerging economies continue to use public procurement as a primary instrument for industrialization; for example, Brazil implemented price preferences of 25% for domestic products in health, defense, and high-tech sectors, and China restricted its government vehicle fleet to domestic brands.
• A WTO dispute regarding Ontario's feed-in tariffs for renewable energy established a restrictive precedent, with the Appellate Body ruling that 'public purpose' refers only to the functional needs of government agencies rather than broader public policy goals.
• Some EU member states are resisting full liberalization by implementing local content requirements for green energy; France provides higher feed-in tariffs for solar installations made in the EU, and Italy has similar requirements for photovoltaic components.
