Any #EU law experts here?
As today the #USA administration use dishonest claims about forced labour to justify import taxes I wonder how the EU Forced Labour Regulation** will affect imports from the US.
Will we see certain manufacturers or entire produce groups (as produce is pooled from different sources and the US government does not enforce its laws) blocked?

@Pepijn@mastodon.online Good point. I also wonder how the extensive use of prison labor aligns with this.
