Rules and Practices of the Inter-European Trade in Potatoes
The economic evolution of Europe requires an on-going adaptation of trading behaviour and
in particular of the Rules and Practices of the profession.
The first European rules were established, as early as 1956, through the efforts of the
European Union for the Wholesale Trade in Potatoes, which became EUROPATAT, in
defining professional practices and setting up a simple and efficient procedure for expert
assessments and arbitration, known ever since by the acronym RUCIP.
