Joint call on IMCO and AGRI committees to preserve the Single Market - Regulation on cross-border enforcement of the UTP Directive

Today, Independent Retail Europe and Euro Coop sent a joint letter to the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee and of the Internal Market Committee calling on them to fix a major flaw in the European Commission’s proposal on cross-border enforcement of the Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive. The Commission proposal contains provisions which, if not clarified, put in jeopardy the integrity of the Single Market for food products and undermine the  EU legal acquis applicable cross-border contracts.
