EU Richtlijn 1169/2011 (food labeling)

Om voedingssupplementen op Amazon te verkopen, moet je toestemming krijgen. Doorgaans word je afgewezen. Voorbeelden van tekstsnedes uit afwijzingen:

Die übermittelten Bilder entsprechen nicht der EU-Kennzeichnungsvorschrift, die besagt, dass das Etikett in der lokalen Sprache der Marketplace-Site verfasst sein muss, auf der der Verkäufer verkaufen möchte.

en

The images submitted do not comply with EU labelling rules, which state that the label must be written in the local language of the marketplace where the seller wishes to sell.

Maar is dat ook zo?

Dit gaat primair over verkoop in Duitsland.
