      abstract = {The European Green Deal has the ambition to bring about a  more sustainable food system. Trade policy is required to  be coherent with and supportive of the objectives of the  Green Deal. Various legislative and other initiatives have  been introduced or proposed to use trade policy measures to  support the move to higher sustainability standards in the  food system both in the EU and globally. Mandatory due  diligence requirements for companies are proposed to ensure  they have ‘clean’ supply chains. Mirror clauses have been  proposed in agri-food trade to require that imported  products meet similar regulatory standards as EU producers.  Promoting this agenda is a priority of the French EU  Presidency in the first half of 2022. Higher sustainability  standards and accompanying trade measures will have a  significant impact on the competitiveness of EU producers  as well as international trade in food. This paper provides  a preliminary assessment of this debate, with a particular  focus on vulnerable developing countries for which the EU  is an important market.},
