The European Commission has published an interim report on the state of the transposition and implementation of the Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive. It covers the scope of application, the UTPs prohibited and the enforcement mechanisms chosen by Member States. The Directive aims at protecting farmers, farmers organisations, and other weaker suppliers of agricultural and food products against stronger buyers. EU Member States were required to transpose the Directive into national law by 1 May 2021 and apply it six months later.

By 31 July 2021, 16 Member States notified complete transposition the Directive. Generally, the Member States followed the overall approach of the Directive. A majority of them went beyond the minimum protection level for farmers and small agri-food businesses established in the Directive. Most Member States extended the Directive’s list of UTPs or made the prohibitions stricter. Member States generally followed the sectoral approach of the legislation and applied the requirements to the agri-food supply chain.
