Gastronomy Law

It is inconsistent, as I understand it, to promote appropriate leisure time through certain policies aimed at young people (let us recall in this regard what is stated in Article 43.3 of the Spanish Constitution), which promotes sports or healthy eating, and, on the other hand, to equally encourage wine consumption through gastronomic or wine-making tours throughout the country. I understand that this type of tourism is aimed at a more mature segment of the population, who will undoubtedly be able to consume the product more responsibly, but there is still, in my opinion, a contradiction that is difficult to avoid. VI. CONCLUSIONS Very briefly, some important conclusions can be drawn from this brief work. So-called “haute cuisine” can sometimes be considered another tourist resource that motivates travel and visits to a particular destination. This implies that, in addition to the minimum quality controls that the Administration must implement, as in any other hospitality establishment, there must be an intervention aimed at verifying compliance with other requirements. In this regard, administrative oversight intervention must be proportionate and minimal, as the very nature of these types of establishments requires a high level of product quality. In this regard, self-regulation appears to play a crucial role through private systems such as the Michelin Guide or the Repsol Guide, even if they are not very transparent. The market, therefore, can exercise more or less adequate oversight. But objectives of general interest go beyond high gastronomic quality. There are other objectives of general interest whose fulfillment is the responsibility Alcohol consumption also causes significant harm to others, not just to the person consuming alcohol. A significant part of alcohol-attributable disease burden arises from injuries such as road traffic accidents. In 2019, of a total of 298,000 deaths from alcohol-related road crashes, 156,000 deaths were caused by someone else’s drinking. Other injuries, intentional or unintentional, include falls, drowning, burns, sexual assault, intimate partner violence and suicide. A causal relationship has been established between alcohol use and the incidence or outcomes of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy increases the risk of having a child with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), the most severe form of which is fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which is associated with developmental disabilities and birth defects. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can also increase the risk of pre-term birth complications including miscarriage, stillbirth and premature delivery. Younger people are disproportionately negatively affected by alcohol consumption, with the highest proportion (13%) of alcohol-attributable deaths in 2019 occurring among people aged between 20 and 39 years. In the long term, harmful and hazardous levels of alcohol consumption can lead to social problems including family problems, issues at work, financial problems, and unemployment. 18 ALEJANDRO CORRAL SASTRE
