By adopting a Directive, the EU will end up with 27 different supply chain laws with very different requirements for companies in each EU Member State, particularly in the areas of supervision and sanctions. As such, EU legislators are not creating a level playing field for EU companies, even if they are repeating this misrepresentation continuously.
