FEPEX warns Congress that the Chain Law may lead to an increase in Spanish imports
The director of FEPEX, Jose Maria Pozancos, appeared before the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Commission, which is working to amend Law 12/2013, of August 2, to improve the operation of the food chain. Pozancos said he shared the objectives of the law and the directive on unfair commercial practices. However, he said, requiring that the price of all productions be equal to their production cost, regardless of their competitiveness or the situation of the markets, would be detrimental as a significant part of the production would be unable to access the market, which would favor competition from third countries and the Community.
