Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a wide-spread consensus that UTPs occur throughout the food supply chain. Unfair trading practices (UTPs) can be defined as practices which grossly deviate from good commercial conduct, are contrary to good faith and fair dealing and are unilaterally imposed by one trading partner on its counterparty. Some Member States, such as France, Belgium and the UK, have already adopted legislation specifically prohibiting such practices (in the food and/or non-food supply chain). In addition, various self-regulatory initiatives exist.0In April 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive (EU) 2019/633 on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain. A Commission Proposal of April 2018 (COM(2018) 173 final) was substantially amended. To improve farmers? and small and medium sized businesses? position in the food supply chain, the Directive bans certain unfair trading practices including late payments for perishable food products; last minute order cancellations; unilateral changes to contracts; refusal to enter into a written contract; returning unsold or wasted products; payment for buyer?s marketing. Each Member State has to designate a competent authority to enforce these rules and these authorities must have the power to both launch investigations and fine operators who break the rules. The Member States now have two years to implement the Directive.00This book compiles the various papers presented at the ?2nd UTP Roundtable? organized by the CONSUMER COMPETITION MARKET (CCM) institute of the KU Leuven on 28 June 2018. It entails a critical analysis of the final text of the EU Directive, the current state of play and the different regulatory options at national level by 2021.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 12 April 2018, the European Commission published a Proposal for a directive on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the food supply chain, COM(2018) 173 final ('UTPD'). Currently, the European Parliament and the Council review the proposal. In this paper, we provide an overview of the issue of Unfair trading practices ('UTPs') in the supply chain, the content of the original proposal and its proposed amendments and subsequently analyze the different proposed regulations from a legal perspective. We show that, despite the fact that the proposal certainly pursues noble goals, it has important flaws and shortcomings: (1) it is questionable whether Art. 43 TFEU is a valid choice as a legal basis as the scope of the proposal targets the entire food sector. Arguably it can hence not be adequately based exclusively on the Common Agricultural Policy ('CAP') instruments legal basis. (2) UTPs rules are complementary to EU competition law, which may send ripples to the overall structure of EU law. The UTPs mentioned cover situations of unequal bargaining power - the focus is on the bilateral power of balance between market participants, as opposed to competition law rules on abuses of dominance that are geared to address practices that have an effect on the overall market. (3) It is unclear why and on which basis the respective practices were chosen and if this static approach allows for sufficient flexibility to also cover other UTPs that might evolve over time. It is, however, likely that the Proposal lays the foundation for a growing area of EU law, which increasingly regulates practices in B2B relationships.
Download or read book Global Food Value Chains and Competition Law written by Ioannis Lianos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food industry is a notoriously complex economic sector that has not received the attention it deserves within legal scholarship. Production and distribution of food is complex because of its polycentric character (as it operates at the intersection of different public policies) and its dynamic evolution and transformation in the last few decades (from technological and governance perspectives). This volume introduces the global value chain approach as a useful way to analyse competition law and applies it to the operations of food chains and the challenges of their regulation. Together, the chapters not only provide a comprehensive mapping of a vast comparative field, but also shed light on the intricacies of the various policies and legal fields in operation. The book offers a conceptual and theoretical framework for competition authorities, companies and academics, and fills a massive gap in the competition policy literature dealing with global value chains and food.

Download or read book Sustainable healthy diets written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the detrimental environmental impact of current food systems, and the concerns raised about their sustainability, there is an urgent need to promote diets that are healthy and have low environmental impacts. These diets also need to be socio-culturally acceptable and economically accessible for all. Acknowledging the existence of diverging views on the concepts of sustainable diets and healthy diets, countries have requested guidance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) on what constitutes sustainable healthy diets. These guiding principles take a holistic approach to diets; they consider international nutrition recommendations; the environmental cost of food production and consumption; and the adaptability to local social, cultural and economic contexts. This publication aims to support the efforts of countries as they work to transform food systems to deliver on sustainable healthy diets, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs at country level, especially Goals 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action).
