The New B2B-legislation put into practice: Are you ready?

Webinar | 12.08.20, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

Register

There have been some major changes in the B2B landscape recently. Most of these changes are now either in effect or are on the verge of being so. The new rules on unfair market practices entered into force on September 1, 2019 followed by the rules prohibiting abuse of economic dependence on August 22, 2020. And now, on December 1, 2020, the new rules on unlawful contract terms will kick in.


These legislative changes will undoubtedly affect many Belgian companies in their B2B relationships, both on a national and international level. Are you confident that your firm is prepared for this? How can you be better prepared, also bearing in mind that different national frameworks impose different sets of rules? What has practical experience taught us? And what can we learn from foreign precedents? 


During this webinar, Crowell & Moring will provide you with useful information about the practical consequences of this new Belgian legislation, and discuss the opportunities and potential pitfalls it brings with it.

An ELI Public Webinar - Understanding the Basics of Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
