Considerations on the definition of food quality on the EU market

Quality on the EU food market today is a complex concept with a multifold approach. It is defined in terms of the interests of those who use it in order to attain their market goals, i.e. consumer satisfaction, economic interests or food safety and of the interest in having a market that functions according to complex yet clear and balanced regulations. The new context in which the European Union scientifically and economically places food quality urges Romania as one of the youngest members of the EU economic system to get acquainted to mutations that have occurred in this sector and to find means to actively adapt to them at the level of both authorities and market players.
