The notion of consumer as it is known in a legal sense differs from the concept of consumer as used in other matters (e.g. Sociology or Marketing). In legal sense, in a contractual way for instance, a precise definition of the âconsumerâ is essential in order to delimit the persons entitled to extended legal protection in relations with traders. The wider the circle covered by the definition of consumer, the more extensive the scope of consumer law provisions is and the less reason there is to speak about consumer law as a special regulation. This is clear so far, but also itâs clear that the notion of consumer itself contains several specificities. In this regard, itâs possible to consider âconsumerâ as âcitizenâ, what it would be an abstract approach, and also it could be used âconsumerâ in several concrete approaches. The article will analyze the notion of consumer and General EU Food Law and the aim is to point out some conclusions about this concept.
