Reception of UTP by the sector, changes in practices?
Background: In 2020/21 the European Union adopted the Directive on Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) in order to overcome asymmetries in European value chains that disadvantaged agricultural producers. This legislation has meanwhile been adopted into German legislation. This work aims to investigate the effectiveness of the legislation.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of the UTP Directive in Germany or in another European member state, or even comparatively across EU countries.
