In January 2025, for some, the Year of the Dragon ended and the Year of the Snake began, while for others, the era of one set of standards ended and a time of new packaging challenges began. In fact, Regulation 2025/40 (dated December 19, 2024) was published in the Official Journal of the EU, which will require the design of packaging that is recyclable or reusable, will limit waste, promote sustainable technologies, and harmonize regulations across the EU.

Protection of an entrepreneur against the dissemination of false information about them

Therefore, it is extremely important to know that in cases where false information about an entrepreneur is spread, there are specific legal mechanisms available to defend against this.

Sensitive Products in a Nutshell – Practical Challenges. Part I: Dietary Supplements
Introducing so-called sensitive products to the market can be a real challenge. Sensitive products are those that, due to their nature, are subject to highly detailed regulations and additional oversight systems. One of my favorite categories of sensitive products is health-promoting food, especially food for special medical purposes regulated by Regulation 609/2013. However, this time the focus is not on that, but on dietary supplements. These are products often perceived as easy to launch on the market, with production and sales seen as a relaxed way to run a business. From my legal practice, I can say that nothing could be further from the truth. Bringing a dietary supplement to market is a complex process that requires compliance with numerous legal requirements and overcoming many practical challenges. Running a responsible business in the dietary supplement sector can be quite a task—like in a Hitchcock movie: first an earthquake, and then the tension only rises.

Protection of a company’s personal rights. What are personal rights? Why and how to protect them?
Every entrepreneur knows well that running a business involves various types of risks. One of these risks is the possibility of infringement of personal rights, which can deliver a serious blow to the company’s image. However, it is important to understand that a business’s personal rights are legally protected, and the individuals or entities whose personal rights are violated have specific legal remedies. In the age of the Internet and marketing largely conducted through websites and social media, this topic is even more relevant and deserves attention.

Will the advertising of dietary supplements undergo changes?
On September 26, 2024, a request for a preliminary ruling was submitted to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the correct application of nutrition and health claims in advertising (Case C-657/24). What is this case about? What are the legal grounds for this question? Will the CJEU ruling affect the current practice of using claims in dietary supplement advertising, and what impact might it have on consumer protection? What are the most important rules regarding the advertising of dietary supplements? What mistakes should be avoided?

Online hate and personal rights
The internet, as a means of mass communication, allows for expressing opinions in an almost unlimited way. Because of this, it enables people to publicly insult users on websites, express unfavorable opinions about a topic or a person, and even incite hatred and discrimination based on race, nationality, religion, or ethnicity.
