Abstract

U radu se prikazuje pregled temeljnih pojmova iz područja prava zaštite potrošača s posebnim osvrtom na zaštitu zdravlja i sigurnosti potrošača kako bi se ostvario cilj osiguravanja visoke razine zaštite potrošača u Europskoj uniji. U tom smislu, prikazani su izvori prava Europske unije i zakonski okvir o općoj sigurnosti proizvoda u Republici Hrvatskoj te je izvršena analiza usklađenosti hrvatskog pravnog sustava s pravnom stečevinom Europske unije. S ciljem prikazivanja funkcioniranja sustava RAPEX u praksi, obrađena je prijava opasnog proizvoda od strane proizvođača i distributera putem sustava RAPEX kao i posljedice takve prijave za sigurnost potrošača. S istim ciljem, obrađena je i presuda Općeg suda Europske unije koja prikazuje položaj proizvođača i distributera u slučaju zabrane stavljanja na tržište nesigurnog proizvoda što se pokazalo neosnovanom odlukom nadzornog tijela države članice koju je potvrdila Europska komisija, a koja odluka je u konačnici poništena presudom Općeg suda Europske unije. Prikazan je presjek funkcioniranja sustav RAPEX u Republici Hrvatskoj s osvrtom na analizu proizvoda za koje je utvrđeno da predstavljaju opasnost za potrošače i koji su uklonjeni sa tržišta Republike Hrvatske od 2014. do zaključno 2018. godine.

Abstract (english)

This paper presents an overview of fundamental concepts in the field of consumer protection, with particular reference to consumer health and safety, in order to achieve the objective of ensuring a high level of consumer protection in the European Union. In this regard, the sources of EU law and the legal framework on general product safety in the Republic of Croatia are presented, and analysis of the compliance of Croatian legal system with the Community acquis has been conducted. In order to demonstrate how RAPEX works in practice, the notification of a dangerous product by manufacturer and distributor through RAPEX has been reviewed, as well as the consequences of such a notification for consumer safety. For the same purpose, a judgment of the EU General Court was also reviewed, presenting the position of manufacturers and distributors in the case of a ban on placing of unsafe product on the market, based on decision of a supervisory authority of a Member State upheld by the European Commission, which proved to be an unfounded and was ultimately annulled by the judgment of the EU General Court. A cross-section of functioning of the RAPEX system in the Republic of Croatia is presented with reference to the analysis of products identified as posing a risk to consumers and consequently removed from the market of Republic of Croatia from 2014 to inclusive 2018.
