Code or law?

The Food Product Code should have come into effect on 1. July. However, an enquiry has been launched by the Competition Office upon suspicion of the Code being contradictory to local and EU regulations regarding competition. This has lead to the possibility of submitting a new bill to regulate this issue. Its is our common interest that farmers, the food processing sector and retailers co-operate harmonically. Coop had declared its commitment to allocating plenty of shelf space to Hungarian products, because we believe in the competitiveness of these products.
