Last week, @eesc.bsky.social adopted the Evaluation of the #UnfairTradingPractices Directive, in which FTAO's @jorgeconesa.bsky.social contributed as an advisor to the co-rapporteur.

The FTAO celebrates the call to ban selling below the cost of production—a win for farmers & key #FairTrade demand.⚖️

Last week, we spoke about #UnfairTradingPractices (UTPs) at @europarl.europa.eu.

Our calls:

1️⃣ Revise #UTP Directive to ban purchases below sustainable production cost.

2️⃣ Extend protection beyond the EU.

3️⃣ Strengthen enforcement & complaint mechanisms.
