СИСТЕМИ ЗА БЪРЗ ОБМЕН НА ИНФОРМАЦИЯ КАТО СРЕДСТВО ЗА ГАРАНТИРАНЕ НА СИГУРНОСТ И ЗАЩИТА НА ПОТРЕБИТЕЛИ – ПРАВНИ И СОЦИАЛНИ АСПЕКТИ
RAPID INFORMATION SYSTEMS AS TOOL FOR ENSURING SECURITY AND CONSUMER SAFETY PROTECTION – LEGAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS

Summary/Abstract: Consumers’ protection and their safety is a guiding principle in European Union legislation, established in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Consumers should have sufficient means to exercise their rights and Member States should provide adequate instruments and protection measures. Rapid information systems can serve as mechanism to ensure security and protection of users, but at the same time, the development and implementation of such mechanisms based on the establishment and use of data bases, poses risks that may cause endangerment and violation of fundamental rights and interests of both people and legal entities. The rapid development of public relations, as well as the change in consumption rates and consumer preferences for various goods and services, reflects on the nature and dynamics of development in the regulatory framework. The fast, accurate and timely exchange of safety-related data and information is directly linked both to the prevention of an adverse outcome and to the possibility of limiting negative impact in case of adverse consequences that have already occurred. The research and disclosure of specifics related to legal and social aspects in the development and introduction of rapid information systems have significant potential and could be useful both in the process of rule-making and in the process of law enforcement.
