Double food quality: new market phenomenon or state protectionism
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article deals with the new phenomenon on the EU market, which has been the so-called dual food quality. This issue was the subject of many meetings and discussions, both at the level of individual EU countries and at the forum of the main EU bodies (Parliament, Council and Commission). New legal regulations were introduced, food inspections and tests are carried out in terms of its quality, and in principle its qualitative differentiation in individual Member States. The article attempts to assess to what extent this is a real economic and market problem, and to what extent the activities aimed at introducing new forms of state protectionism in the field of production and trade in food on the common market, i.e. the part of the market that is the most covered by harmonized EU law.
