IMCO and INTA, as joint-committees, adopted a report on the proposal for a Regulation on Prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market. The co-Rapporteurs are Ms Maria-Manuel LEITÃO-MARQUES (S&D, IMCO) and Ms Samira RAFAELA (Renew, INTA). The next trilogue is scheduled for 4 March 2024.On 30 January 2024, the first trilogue took place on the draft Regulation on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market. Parliament had already endorsed its negotiating mandate in November last year and now, following the recent approval of the Council mandate, intense inter-institutional negotiations could start, with the hope to conclude the file before the end of this legislative term. Co-Rapporteur Ms LEITÃO-MARQUES said: "I am very happy that we have started the negotiations to create a ban for products made with forced labour from the internal market. 27 million people working in inhumane conditions are waiting for us to act, as well as all the companies suffering from unfair competition based on modern slavery. Council and Parliament are aligned when it comes to the goals of the instrument, and I'll do everything I can to ensure a good result,".Procedure FileMandateReporting back on the trilogue of 30 January 2024 during the committee meeting of 13 February 2024Press Release following the adoption of the report by INTA and IMCO Members on 16 October 2023Recording of the presentation of the draft report at the INTA-IMCO meeting of 23 May 2023Recording of the discussion at the joint INTA-IMCO committee meeting of 26 April 2023Recording of the Presentation by the Commission in CommitteeRecording of the discussion in committee of 18 July 2023 on the amendments tabledSource : © European Union, 2024 - EP
