Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to strengthen cooperation among national enforcement authorities in cross-border cases of unfair trading practices in the agri-food supply chain.
The law would give authorities new tools to gather information, find infringements, and impose fines on buyers in other member states.
Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.
