Etichetarea produselor alimentare în lumina reglementărilor dreptului Uniunii Europene
LABELING OF FOOD PRODUCTS ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN LAW

Summary/Abstract: In the EU, the issue of food products labeling generated wide debates in the legal specialty literature and numerous cases pending before the European courts. The adoption of the Regulation no. 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and Council is a new EU law concerning costumer informing about food products. The adoption of this legislative instrument law was necessary due to the fact that the European Union rules on food labeling applicable to all food products were provided by the Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the Member States laws relating to the labeling and presentation of food products and their publication. Most of the provisions laid down in that Directive date back to 1978 and therefore, to update them has become important. In this study, we will attempt a comparative analysis of the Regulation 1169/2011 and of the Directive no. 2000/13/EC, while capturing other practical aspects that we consider relevant in this matter.
