The lawyers of KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI KG LEGAL participated on February 12, 2025, in a webinar dedicated to functional food, organized by LifeScience Cluster.
The speakers discussed the problem of the loophole in the form of the lack of a definition of functional food in both Polish and EU law. Experts proposed a working definition, according to which functional food is a food product that, in addition to providing nutrients, performs additional functions. However, it was noted that this type of food cannot be treated as a substitute for medicines or presented as “medicinal food”. Importantly, functional products are not “safer” than standard food – every food approved for sale in the European Union must meet identical safety standards.

On 14 January 2025 Patryk Piecha of KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI KG LEGAL had the great pleasure of participating in a webinar organized by Dow Jones devoted to “Sanctions: The Outlook for Policy and Enforcement.” This was a chance to familiarize with experts’ opinions on the impact of the incoming U.S. administration under President-elect on global policy and the economies of U.S. allies and the European Union. The speakers were Nicholas Elliott, Miroslava Panuscikova, Tom Blass, Rachel Ziemba, and Rachel Fiorill. The webinar consisted of two parts. The speakers firstly provided a detailed analysis of various statistical data, such as the monthly changes in sanctions from 2020 to 2024, with particular attention paid to the sudden changes starting in February 2022 (Russia’s aggression against Ukraine), when there was a significant increase in sanctions imposed, particularly by the EU on Russia. The biggest leader in sanctions during this period was OFAC, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. The speakers also discussed UN sanctions (on various countries), which have remained unchanged over the past two years, while EU sanctions have been undergoing substantial changes, especially with respect to Ukraine.
