The mandatory obligations stemming from the ‘Deforestation Regulation (EU) 2023/1115', which came into force on 29 June 2023, are set to become applicable in all Member States of the European Union on 30 December 2024.

France: Forthcoming Environmental Labelling - Ongoing Public Consultation to Determine Methodology and Format

Environmental labelling aims to inform consumers about the environmental impact of the products and services. Using a value to represent the environmental cost makes it possible to reflect the impact of the various products placed on the market, and thus to help consumers choose products and services with reduced environmental impact and at the same time encourage manufacturers to produce in a more environmentally friendly way. Today, there is no regulatory obligation at European level. For the time being, France has taken the lead in terms of regulation, but it is foreseeable that other European countries will follow in the years to come.

Hungary: Classification of Food Delivery Platform Workers’ Legal Relationship

The Hungarian Supreme Court has ruled that in the current legal environment, the tasks performed by food delivery workers and their “dependence” on their platform provider cannot be considered an employment relationship.

Poland: Parliament Passes Law on Products and Services Accessibility

On 26 April, the Polish Parliament adopted a Law on Accessibility Requirements for Certain Products and Services. The Act implements the so-called European Accessibility Act in Poland.

Although the Act is not expected to enter into force until 28 June 2025, given the broad scope of the new obligations, businesses should start preparing for it now.
