On November 3, 2020, the Spanish Parliament passed the second instance of the revised draft of the Spanish Food Industry Chain Law. The revised draft expands the scope of application of the Spanish Food Industry Chain Law. Fair business practices and sanctions have been revised, and by protecting vulnerable operators, improving price transparency, and promoting trade development, all aspects of the food industry chain are more fair and just.

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Spain, Luis Planas, said that after the draft amendment was approved, its parliamentary procedure has been initiated and it is planned to take effect on November 1, 2021, so that the department has enough time to adapt to the new law.

Spain issued the Royal Decree-Law 5/2020 on February 25, 2020, the "Spanish Agricultural and Food Emergency Measures Act", which is the first step to improve the "Spanish Food Industry Chain Act". In the current second phase, the Spanish government has incorporated the EU Directive 2019/633 on unfair business practices between enterprises in the agricultural and food supply chain, expanded the scope of application, and formulated strengthening measures to enhance its effectiveness.

The imbalance of the food industry chain is not unique to Spain, but a common problem faced by all EU member states. Therefore, the Spanish government is committed to solving the imbalance between operators, protecting disadvantaged operators, and stimulating market vitality. , To promote the fair distribution of added output value.
