Please outline briefly the commitment(s) made in the areas outlined above :
We will step up our efforts to identify and combat negative impacts on achievement of SDGs in third countries (spillover effects) that are caused by Germany. For example, we are introducing legislation and measures to prevent spillover effects such as the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (LkSG); we are supporting our partner countries in meeting these legal requirements. Additionally, we are promoting the expansion of statistical capacities in Germany, developing countries and emerging economies, and the deployment of methods for improved measuring of spillover effects.

•	Systematic review of public administration practices and procedures for negative spillover effects in order to identify and reduce these effects. 

•	Improved measuring of spillover effects by expanding statistical capacities in Germany, and in developing countries and emerging economies. 

•	Supporting trade partners in adapting to growing requirements, e.g. within the framework of the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains or by means of Team Europe initiatives.
