Administrative procedures adopted in the EU Regulation 2024/3015 on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market: The most recent EU response to human rights violations

Summary/Abstract: The new EU Regulation 2024/3015 on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on December 12, 2024 and shall apply from December 14, 2027 (except for the several enumerated articles which apply from December 13, 2024). The author puts forward the hypothesis that the regulation fits into the global trend to combat the use of a widespread forced labour in the world. Other acts adopted in this context include e.g.: the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Canada), the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (United States), the “Modern Slavery Act 2015” (United Kingdom) and the “Modern Slavery Act” (Australia). The aim of this paper is to analyse and critically assess the administrative procedures adopted in the EU regulation, assuming that particular attention will be paid to “investigations”, “decisions”, and “enforcement” issues. The author tests the hypothesis that the regulation fits into the third generation administrative procedures.
