Právní aspekty ochrany spotřebitele v oblasti doplňků stravy

The topic of this diploma thesis are current legal aspects of consumer protection in the food supplements area in the Czech and European legislation. Scope, principles and approach to settlement of disputes arising from courts and administrative bodies will be assessed. The need to pay attention to consumer protection is rising mainly due to the increasing importance of international trade. Everyone has unlimited possibilities to travel abroad and buy various kinds of goods there or even order them by the Internet. This is a huge advantage of modern times. However, the free movement of persons and goods entails certain issues and difficulties that need to be solved at international level. And this issue is even bigger when it comes to freely available foods and food supplements. A prerequisite for the functionality of this system is the harmonisation of individual national law with European legislation. But is it also functional in practice? That is the topic of this diploma thesis.
