GA_P represents INTERPORC, PROVACUNO, INTEROVIC, ASICI, AVIANZA and INTERCUN in the lawsuit against Foods for Tomorrow
4 June, 2024
The interprofessional organisations INTERPORC, PROVACUNO, INTEROVIC, ASICI, AVIANZA and INTERCUN, represented by Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, have partially won the lawsuit brought against Foods for Tomorrow (Heüra) for greenwashing advertising.
The judgment, handed down on 23 April 2024, declares that Heüra has committed acts of unfair competition on the grounds that its advertising consisting of statements relating to livestock and meat products is misleading, denigratory and an unlawful comparison.
What is relevant in this judgment is the conviction of Heüra, which states that the advertising that has been declared unlawful was carried out through an intense campaign on the social network Instagram, as well as the advertising banner in Toledo Street in Madrid (A hamburger pollutes more than your car). Although the banner was removed, the plaintiff has proved in its lawsuit how the lawsuit has even ‘profited’ from the previous injunction procedure, with the publication of photographs and videos. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the defendant’s conduct will continue or that the misleading, denigrating and unlawfully comparative acts will remain in the consumer’s memory.
The GA_P team was formed by José Luis Palma, counsel for Public and Regulated Sectors, and Mónica Esteve and Mercedes Corbal, respectively counsel and associate for Industrial and Intellectual Property.
Congratulations to all of them!

The new obligation to supply medicines at the request of Member States: analysis of Article56a of the Medicines Directive
Article 56a of the European Union’s new Medicines Directive introduces a mechanism that allows Member States to require marketing authorisation holders to supply authorised medicines within their territory to meet the needs of their patients. In the event of non-compliance three years after the request, the holder may lose market protection in that Member State, thereby allowing the entry of generic and biosimilar medicines. However, exceptions are provided for in cases of exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the holder’s control, as well as safeguards to prevent the loss of protection in one Member State from being used to circumvent the system in other protected markets.
