European Parliament votes on position on EU supply chain law • news • onvista

BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) – The European Parliament will vote on its position on the planned EU supply chain law this Thursday (from 11 a.m.) in Brussels. The draft law stipulates that large companies in the EU should be held responsible for child or forced labor and environmental pollution by their international suppliers.

At the end of last year, the EU states had already agreed on their position. Parliament and member states still have to agree on a joint compromise after the vote on Thursday. The regulations could be stricter than the German supply chain law that will apply from 2023./sza/DP/jha
