Agricultural and Food Supply Chain (Unfair Trading) Regulations 2023 (S.I. No. 625/2023).

These Regulations shall be without prejudice to the provisions of any Act or instrument made under such Act aimed at combating unfair trading practices that are not within the scope of these Regulations, provided that those provisions are compatible with the rules on the functioning of the internal market. Where a prohibition specified in Regulations 5 or 6 conflicts with a provision in another Act, or instrument made under such Act, which falls within the scope of the prohibition, the provision of Regulation 5 or 6 relating to that prohibition shall, in accordance with Article 3(4) of the Directive, prevail over such other provision. These Regulations apply to unfair trading practices which occur in relation to sales of agricultural and food products by: a) a supplier which has an annual turnover less than that of its buyer, and the buyer has an annual turnover of more than €2,000,000; and b) a supplier to a buyer which is a public authority. These Regulations apply to: a) sales where either the supplier or the buyer, or both, are established in the European Union; and b) services, insofar as explicitly referred to in Regulations 5 or 6, provided by the buyer to the supplier. These Regulations apply to a supply agreement concluded before or after the coming into force of these Regulations. These Regulations do not apply to agreements between suppliers and consumers.
