Revision of EU rules on business-to-business unfair trading practices in the food supply chainfiled 20 Feb 2026PDFsource

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.

Evaluation of EU Rules of Originfiled 2 Dec 2025PDFsource

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.
