Supply Chain Act: expert opinion on design

Yesterday, the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action presented a report in Berlin in which it makes recommendations for the design of the European Supply Chain Act. In particular, it advocates the creation of a list of safe countries of origin. In addition, the Advisory Council does not consider the extension of due diligence requirements from human rights and labor protection to consumer protection, animal welfare, and environmental protection to be appropriate.
