Regulation and Control Activities in the Multilevel Agri-Food System. Analysis between the European Law and the Italian Legal System

The following contribution highlights the importance of regulatory and control activities for the Agri-food supply chain, as applied between the European and the Italian legal system.

Alongside regulation are control mechanisms, involving continuous oversight either directly by public powers or through delegated private entities.
