On 17 April 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive (EU) 2019/633 on unfair trading practices (UTPs) in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain. To assess the effectiveness of measures taken by Member States in the context of this Directive, the Commission will carry out annual surveys, following the baseline questionnaire launched in 2020, capturing the state of play before the implementation of new national measures.
This survey by the Joint Research Centre and the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission was carried out across all Member States and it targets suppliers covered by the Directive at the different stages of the agri-food supply chain.
