COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2026/1435 of 26 June 2026 concerning national provisions notified by French Republic on the destruction of unsold products (notified under document C(2026) 4364) (Only the French text is authentic) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Commission Decision approves French national provisions on unsold product destruction that diverge from EU Regulation 2024/1781, effectively preempting harmonized EU rules and weakening the circular-economy mandate against product waste by permitting member-state carve-outs.
