EU APPROVES DIRECTIVE ON UNFAIR TRADING IN B2B SECTOR

The EU Council of Ministers has now formally approved the long-debated directive on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain. The directive will ban the most obvious unfair trading practices and provide member states with more effective ways of tackling abuses. Now if has been approved at last – we want to talk to EU food sector associations about how this law will start to have a practical impact and how the industry – manufacturers, processors and farmers – can prepare to make it work without causing a lot of disruption.
