Amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 32021R2117

applies from: unknown (an inserted provision states its own application date only in prose)

Sources disagree about what is listed, not about the text — the text comparison and the amending act's instructions found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. All are shown; none is overruled.

This article is entirely new, establishing Union market observatories that the Commission is to set up to improve transparency in the food supply chain, inform economic operators and public authorities, and monitor market developments and threats of disturbance.

It further states that the Commission may decide for which agricultural sectors listed in Article 1(2) such observatories are established, sets out the categories of statistical data and reports the observatories are to produce, and requires Member States to collect and supply that information to the Commission.
