Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion

Ms Henrieta Jany-Roskova:

I understand that I was not clear enough, and I apologise for that. What is not binding are the guidelines. They are binding only on the Commission but they provide guidance to the operators. What is binding is the agreement between the two or three or several market actors. This is part of normal contractual law between market actors.
