unfair trading practices

The European Commission, Parliament and member states agreed on rules to ban unfair trading practices in the EU food supply chain, which will help end the human suffering behind our food.

Today, the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee voted to protect food producers inside and outside the EU in key legislation to ban unfair trading practices in the EU’s food supply chain.

The European Commission has published a proposal on unfair trading practices in the EU food supply chain. Right now, supermarkets’ poor practices lead to insecurity among their suppliers, which directly impacts the most vulnerable people in the value chain. Oxfam and NGOs welcome this move, and call on the European Parliament and the Council to strengthen the Commission’s proposal.
