The EU Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR) has been introduced by the European Union to ban ‘products’ made with forced labour from being placed on, or exported from, the EU market, including the European Economic Area (EEA) and Northern Ireland (UK) under the Windsor Framework, from 14 December 2027.
It applies if any part of the product was made with forced labour, at any stage of the supply chain, from extraction and processing to final product manufacturing. It applies to all ‘economic operators’ (companies) regardless of sector and size. The law builds on the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention definitions of ‘forced labour’ and includes forced child labour, which is recognised as one of the worst forms of child labour under ILO Convention No. 182.
