EU lawmakers introduced a draft law banning production of products with the use of forced labour or importation of such into the EU member states. This ban should apply to products (including their components) for which forced labour has been used at any stage of production, manufacture, harvest or extraction, including working or processing. This decision was made in concern about multiple human rights violations in Chinese province of Xinjiang.
