3. The Commission is empowered to set, by means of implementing acts, the minimum requirements in the form of technical specifications, award criteria, contract performance conditions or targets. The minimum requirements shall be set in relation to the product aspects addressed in the delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 4 applicable to the product groups in question, as relevant for those product groups. The minimum requirements shall be based on the two highest performance classes, the highest scores or, when not available, on the best possible performance levels as set out in the delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 4 applicable to the product groups in question. Award criteria shall, where appropriate, have a minimum weighting of between 15 % and 30 % in the awarding process which enables them to have a significant impact on the outcome of the tendering procedure and which favours the selection of the most environmentally sustainable products. Targets shall require, on an annual or multiannual basis, a minimum percentage of 50 % of procurement conducted at the level of contracting authorities or contracting entities, or at an aggregated national level, of the most environmentally sustainable products as referred to in the fourth subparagraph. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 73(3).
