Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis proposes a ban on products made with forced labour in the EU, with a new law to prohibit them from the market and involve investigations.
Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis calls for a ban on products made with forced labour in the EU, citing the growing issue of forced labour and its estimated $208bn annual profits. A new EU law is set to prohibit such products from the EU market, regardless of their origin, and will involve investigations and marketplace withdrawals if forced labour is confirmed. The European Parliament is set to give the final approval, which is seen as a significant achievement for combating modern slavery.
