European food law has become an independent field and a phenomenon over the last 25 years, which in its turn controls the lives of all consumers in the European Union. The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the fundamentals of food law, its terminology and functioning within the European Union and possibly with a short comparison with the requirements of other legal regulations in the field of food regulation. Students will learn how to orient themselves in the basic legislation regulating the operation of the food business. They will be ready to apply the food law requirements imposed not only on food safety but also on labelling of foods, which are often contrary to marketing visions. They will be able to search and find the individual regulations using simple, user-friendly tools but also to use them argumentally. Given that European food law is currently a comprehensive set of legislation which leaves only a certain minimum level of implementation in the regulation of food production and distribution to Member States , students will be acknowledged with the basic aspects of European legislation with an impact on national law. Attention will be paid not only to the general requirements resulting from the general food law, but also to other legal regulations that are crucial to the application of food law and are interdependent. In the area of labelling, attention will be paid to harmonized European rules describing the basic rules for the behavior of food business operators (food safety, quality management and food safety systems, etc.) and food labelling and, in this context, also food categories (commodities), special foods, food supplements and foods for special nutrition and special medical purposes. Students will receive basic information on the quality and authenticity of food and the access of supervisory authorities. Lectures will also contain concrete examples and jurisprudence of both the European Court of Justice and the Czech courts. Students will also receive information related to the production and distribution of foodstuffs, namely legislation on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, legislation on chemicals and environmental regulations (wastes, wastes from packaging, environmental degradation, water, air).
