Grünbuch über unlautere Handelspraktiken in der B2B-Lieferkette für Lebensmittel und Nicht-Lebensmittel in Europa KOM(2013) 37 endg.; Ratsdok. 6122/13
This procedure focuses on addressing unfair trading practices within business-to-business (B2B) supply chains for both food and non-food products across Europe. It aims to identify imbalances in bargaining power that lead to unfair treatment of smaller suppliers by larger buyers. This affects suppliers and distributors in the retail and wholesale sectors. The goal is to create a fairer commercial environment and ensure more sustainable supply chains across the EU.
