Webinar – How to be protected against Unfair Trading Practices when you export to the EU?
In 2019 the EU adopted the Directive (EU) 2019/633 on Unfair Trading Practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain. The Directive instructed all EU Member States to put in place laws to forbid certain unfair trading practices between buyers and sellers in agri-food supply chains. It aims to mitigate vulnerability of food suppliers to abusive trading practices due to imbalances of power between larger actors (often buyers) and smaller actors (often suppliers). Both EU and non-EU suppliers, are entitled to protection from said practices.
The FTAO is organising this webinar to share information about how this law provides non-EU suppliers with the tools to be able to benefit from such protection. We will answer questions about its functioning and provide information and assistance. Our speakers will include Henrieta Jany-Roskova from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Agriculture (DG AGRI) and legal experts from different EU Member States.
The same event will take place twice so that partners from the Global South with different time zones and languages can participate:
- 17th November at 10.00 to 11.00 CET for Africa and Asia with interpretation from English to French.
- 17th November at 16.00 to 17.00 CET for Latin America with interpretation from English to Spanish.
