摘要

There have been many claims that European Community (EC) food laws are, in many ways, unsatisfactory. One of the primary criticisms has been that the implementation of these rales generally leads to lower quality food products, particularly since the landmark decision in Cassis. In that case, the European Court of Justice ruled that once a product is legally marketable in one Member State, it must--subject to limited and well-defined exceptions--be legally marketable in all of the Member States. Food products that differ in both composition and method of production are, in many circumstances, marketable in all Member States under the same name, even where these products differ substantially. It has been suggested that in order to maintain the quality of foodstuffs, new harmonizing compositional requirements should be introduced. These requirements would effectively protect consumers from poor quality products by ensuring that minimum compositional requirements are met before a food producer can legitimately market its product using a specific generic designation. Conversely, it has been contended that setting compositional requirements would deprive consumers of cheaper products and would hamper product innovation. There clearly are merits to both arguments.
