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.
