In the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth countries, Hong Kong, the United States and the European Union,[1] a green paper is a tentative government report and consultation document of policy proposals for debate and discussion. A green paper represents the best that the government can propose on the given issue, but, remaining uncommitted, it is able without loss of face to leave its final decision open until it has been able to consider the public reaction to it.[2] Green papers may result in the production of a white paper. They may be seen as grey literature.
