The Federal Association of German Confectionery Industry e.V. (BDSI) welcomes the initiative to shift more from fossil fuels to electricity in order to achieve the EU’s decarbonisation objectives and to improve the efficiency of the energy system.
Filed in German · English published by the European Commission
Contribution to the evaluation and further development of Directive (EU) 2019/633 on unfair trading practices (UTPs) Directive (EU) 2019/633 was a necessary step towards fairer functioning of the agri-food supply chain. Practical experience now calls for continued impact assessment and targeted legislative strengthening to prevent circumvention and address persistent power imbalances.
Today, rules of origin do not reflect the EU’s trade realities or industrial priorities. Overall, they are too complex and neglect the value added at the heart of competitiveness. This creates unnecessary legal and business uncertainty for the German confectionery industry.

Organizations that also filed on at least two of the same consultations. A shared interest in the same dossiers — not evidence of coordination, and we do not suggest any.
