On April 12, 2018, the European Commission published a proposal for a Directive on unfair trading practices in the food supply chain. If the proposal were to be adopted, it would forbid certain commercial practices such as late payments for perishable food products or last minute order cancellations. The proposal only concerns sales by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to nonSMEs buyers. Non-EU businesses are included in the scope of this proposal. Stakeholders can provide feedback on the draft Directive before June 7, 2018.
