Highlights - Unfair trading practices (UTP) in the food supply chain: vote in Plenary - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

The report points out that any serious analysis of UTPs must take as its starting point the new economic paradigm that has emerged over the last few years: large-scale retail in which access to sales outlets has become the subject of fierce competition under the control of supermarkets. It notes that competition authorities have identified specific practices involving the transfer of excessive risk to suppliers, which could render them less competitive. Vote in Plenary will take place on 7 June.
