The NAK’s position is also valid in the European Commission’s new directive proposal

The European Union has announced a new regulatory proposal aimed at improving the role and conditions of competition for farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises in the food supply chain. The National Chamber of Commerce’s (NAK) position is is also prevail in the proposal against the unfair commercial practices.

The European Union has been dealing with the occurrence of Unfair Trade Practice (UTP) in the supply chain for years and with the possible countermeasures. Based on the advice received by the European Commission (EC) on the consultation launched last year, it was found that unfair commercial practices interfere with the proper and efficient functioning of the food supply chain, and therefore legal regulation at EU level is indispensable.
