← Back to context Comment by osigurdson 10 days ago I would think the incentives to produce things no one wants would already be pretty low. 5 comments osigurdson Reply JasonADrury 10 days ago Supplier MOQs can create significant incentives to overproduce. For example, you get 9000 things someone wants and 1000 that no-one wants.This can be profitable for the customer, if they can't just easily get rid of those 1000 they can't sell, it's presumably less profitable. osigurdson 10 days ago Presumably the split between things people want and do not want is not known a priori. It seems the EU is trying to legislate into an existence a solution to an unsolvable equation.
