What is changing?
The Unfair Trading Practices (UTP) Directive aims to achieve a more efficient and fairer food supply chain by protecting agri-food suppliers who sell directly to buyers in the European Union (EU) against UTPs. Non-EU agri-food suppliers are also protected by these rules, which have applied since 2022.
The European Commission is now collecting feedback to inform a revision of the UTP Directive, via a form on its Have Your Say webpage, until 27 February 2026. This input will be taken into account by the Commission when revising the Directive.
Timeline
Stakeholders can provide feedback until 27 February 2026.
