Talk:Green paper

History
If anybody knows could they add how it became known as a green paper, when the term was first used etc. I think it would make the entry far moer encyclopaedic. Thank you. Mehmet Karatay (talk) 11:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I was wondering that too. I first heard the term in the 1970s (in Britain), and I think it was a new term then.  I guess that it was intended to contrast with the familiar term 'White Paper', but I don't know why 'Green' was chosen.86.183.224.255 (talk) 16:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * This site says a Green Paper is actually printed on pale green paper http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/82326.stm

but I'm not sure that's true. I remember that consultation documents were sometimes printed with a green *cover*, but I don't think even that was a general rule.86.183.224.255 (talk) 16:21, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Green papers in the United Kingdom
Why are'nt the green papers in Great Britain mentioned here. I can't understand this. The term was invented there and it is in use today as in former times. Look at for instance. --13Peewit (talk) 08:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

This article should not include the US.
This article includes the US as a country that makes use of "green papers." As a civil litigator I was required to research the legislative history of many laws, both state and federal. I never came across the term green paper. Obviously, this is anecdotal. But it is hard to prove a negative. The burden should lie those who argue that the article should remain as is despite the lack of any citations that the US is a country that commonly utilizes "green papers." It is not.

Indeed as it currently reads (with "our", not as a quote), it looks like a corporate entity added it: "These were developed by a Capital Advisory firm called MAZAKALI who provides investment banking, consulting, and capital advisory services to the cannabis industry. Decades of financial, legal, private equity, venture capital and M&A experience guide our vision" --197.101.72.255 (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
