ABSTRACT
European food regulation, perceived in the optic of modern risk regulation, has attracted a considerable volume of research in the past years. Hence, its analysis has concentrated mainly on the various aspects of the problem of regulating risks, while the trade and market aspect of food regulation – equally important and tightly interrelated with this problem – has attracted much less interest and scrutiny. This contribution analyses the combination of these two aspects of food regulation and emphasises the significance of its dual character in the Union’s new, post-enlargement circumstances.
