UTP Directive Review: Let’s focus on farmers while protecting consumers and the Single Market

The 2019 Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive aimed to protect farmers and processors with a turnover of up to €350 million from unfair practices in relations with their larger buyers. The European Commission (as well as national evaluations) explains that it is too early and difficult to say whether it has achieved its goal, while its transposition has resulted in significant national divergence and restricted mutually beneficial agreements. EuroCommerce calls for a targeted review to bring the UTP Directive back to its original aim by focusing on improving the situation of SME farmers and processors.
