The European Commission, under the Farm to Fork strategy, has released the Code of Conduct for Responsible Business and Marketing Practices
The initiative goes beyond but includes fisheries as it covers food production. The Code is a stakeholder-led initiative, drafted mainly by business organisations, in concertation with the European Commission services.
