  2. Requires authorities to exchange information and provide mutual assistance upon request, with deadlines for responses.
  3. Sets out procedures for handling requests, including grounds for refusal and confidentiality obligations.
  4. Provides for the Commission to facilitate coordination and may adopt implementing acts for practical arrangements.

Who is affected

  • Enforcement authorities in EU member states responsible for enforcing Directive (EU) 2019/633.
  • Suppliers and buyers in the agricultural and food supply chain, as the regulation aims to improve enforcement of rules against unfair trading practices.
