Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
( 10) As a majority of Member States already have national rules on unfair trading practices, albeit diverging, it is appropriate to use the tool of a Directive to introduce a minimum protection standard under Union law. This should enable Member States to integrate the relevant rules into their national legal order in such a way as to bring about a cohesive regime. Member States should not be precluded from adopting and applying on their territory stricter national laws protecting small and medium-sized suppliers and buyers against unfair trading practices occurring in business-to-business relationships in the food supply chain, subject to the limits of Union law applicable to the functioning of the internal market.

Amendment 131 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) Grapes and musts for wine production are covered by the definition of a perishable foodstuff and fall within the scope of the Directive. However, these grapes are to be processed, and transactions on the final product occur much later - often several years after the first transaction. In such circumstances, it should be made possible for interprofessional agreements to derogate from the perishable foodstuffs payment deadlines for for these grapes.

(12b) Grapes and musts for wine production are covered by the definition of a perishable foodstuff and fall within the scope of the Directive. However, these grapes are to be processed, and transactions on the final product occur much later - often several years after the first transaction. Having regard to that fact, the definition of a foodstuff should be clarified further to exclude grapes for winemaking from the scope of the Directive.
