What they argued
We welcome the EU’s approach to providing information on sustainability and environmental footprint for businesses. If consumers are to become a more sustainable product, it must also be ensured that the information provided is transparent and correct and that greenwashing is prevented as far as possible. We would like to take the opportunity to draw attention to one aspect.

In principle, the AöL welcomes the EU’s intensive work on biodiversity. This is because the loss of biodiversity and the loss of biodiversity represent an existential challenge for us and our businesses in the food sector. We therefore welcome the fact that the European Commission is now working on restoring degraded ecosystems and ensuring sustainable management.

Many of the AöL members are affected by unfair trading practices in their business relationships. The degree to which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at the producer level play a relevant intermediary role in food pricing. Market concentrations, wherever they occur, always lead to imbalances and the risk of a deterioration in the economic quality of life. From both food producers and farmers.
Filed in German · English published by the European Commission
Ladies and gentlemen, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and national implementation in the EU Member States have a good legal basis. However, we note that, despite the numerous efforts made by national authorities, the situation has hardly changed, including anonymous whistleblowing systems for economic operators.
