Summary:

The European Union has launched a public consultation on the Communication regarding the application of Article 210 bis, paragraph 7, of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 on sustainability agreements for agricultural producers. The communication aims to clarify the procedures for evaluating sustainability agreements that may exclude competition or compromise the objectives of the common agricultural policy.
