The EU Reg­u­la­tion on pro­hibit­ing prod­ucts made with forced labour on the Union mar­ket (FL Ban or Reg­u­la­tion) has been pub­lished in the Offi­cial Jour­nal of the EU on 12 December
2024. This Reg­u­la­tion pro­hibits plac­ing prod­ucts made with forced labour on the EU mar­ket and their export from the EU. Adop­tion of the FL Ban rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant step
towards erad­i­cat­ing forced labour across glob­al sup­ply chains and address­ing a crit­i­cal gap in the EU leg­isla­tive framework.
