La tutela dei dati scientifici nel regolamento sui novel food alla luce del regolamento in materia di health e nutritional claims.
2021
Il regolamento (UE) 2283/2015 sui novel food rappresenta un’evoluzione nella protezione dei dati scienti ci relativi ai nuovi prodotti alimentari. La normativa, sviluppata sul modello offerto dal regolamento (UE) 1924/2006 in materia di indicazioni nutrizionali e sulla salute, garantisce una protezione quinquennale dei dati scienti ci e delle prove pro- dotte dal richiedente in sede di domanda di autorizzazione di un nuovo prodotto ex art. 10 del regolamento (UE) 2283/2015. La previsione di un termine quinquennale di tutela se, secondo taluni, può risultare troppo breve per rappresentare un vero incentivo per compiere investimenti in ricerca e sviluppo da parte delle imprese; d’altra parte…

Ochrona niezamożnych konsumentów na rynku usług finansowych
2016
Opracowanie stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy ochrona osób niezamożnych na rynku usług finansowych powinna być realizowana odrębnie w stosunku do powszechnie obowiązujących zasad oraz jakie elementy powinna obejmować ta ochrona? Ponadto – jakie podmioty powinny jej udzielać – czy te, które już istnieją na rynku, czy inne, nowe? Problem ochrony osób niezamożnych wynika stąd, że w dużej mierze osoby te są wykluczone z rynku podstawowego (mainstream market), objętego ochroną prawną. Część osób korzysta z oferty rynku alternatywne-go, czy wręcz nieformalnego. Wydaje się więc, że dodatkowa ochrona osób niezamożnych powinna być ukierunkowana na te właśnie obszary rynku usług finansowych.
