Abstract:
Integration into the European community has opened new markets for Romanian food producers, but also the competition with European competitors for the local market. Although most local businesses have experienced a high level of competitiveness of the EU market, there have been companies that have managed to export food on the EU market. Unfortunately, Romanian foods were involved in a series of unpleasant incidents, the most publicized being the horse meat scandal. This paper proposes an analysis of the notifications made to Romania through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed and establish correlations between the kinds of exported foods, the value of exports and the level of notifications.
