    Unfair Trading Practices (UTPs) in the food supply chain have come to the forefront of European policy-making. Defined as practices that ‘grossly deviate from good commercial conduct (such as late payments for perishable food products, last minute order cancellations, etc.), they are contrary to good faith and fair dealing and are unilaterally imposed by one trading partner on another’, UTPs are now being targeted by the European Commission. Nevertheless, the merit, scope, aim and implementation of new UTP legislation are still the subject of heated debate, particularly among different food chain actors.
