Study - Unfair trading practices in the business-to-business food supply chain - PE 563.438 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Unfair trade practices (UTPs) are practices imposed by a stronger party in a contractual relationship that grossly deviate from good commercial conduct and are contrary to good faith and fair dealing. UTPs are present at a national level, but they can also exert a negative impact on developing trade among Member States, which in turn may hinder the development of the internal market.
