EuroCommerce, which represents the retail and wholesale trade in Europe, has welcomed the European Parliament’s approval of a draft law that would make it mandatory for large companies to check whether their suppliers are using child labour or damaging the environment.
Commenting on the outcome of the vote, EuroCommerce director-general Christel Delberghe, said, "The Parliament has already improved the proposal in many respects, and we were pleased to note that several of the concerns and recommendations highlighted by stakeholders were taken into account.
"Concerning the upcoming trilogues, we urge the co-legislators to further improve the text to ensure the end goal of delivering a practical, harmonised, and realistic EU Due Diligence Directive."
