In 2000, the CAFIA imposed 2,874 penalties in administrative proceedings for breaching obligations stipulated by legal regulations; the total of the penalties amounted to 31,382,300 CZK.

The main reason for imposing the penalties in administrative proceedings especially was non-compliance with the following provisions of legal regulations (the figures in brackets indicate the number of cases when the breach of the relevant provision resulted in the penalty):

• Art. 11 Par. 1 Letter d) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 1,307);
• Art. 6 of Act on Foodstuffs ( 1,131);
• 3. Art. 10 Par. 1 Letter c) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 1,024);
• Art. 8 of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 831);
• Act on Vineyards and Viniculture ( 655);
• Art. 11 Par. 1 Letter c) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 641);
• Art. 11 Par. 2 c) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 557);
• Art. 10 Par. 1 Letter b) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 475);
• Art. 10 Par. 1 Letter a) of the Act on Foodstuffs ( 446).

 If concurrent breaches of more provisions of legal regulations were committed by the person inspected, the penalty was imposed in an aggregate sum for all defects ascertained. The number of penalties imposed was thus significantly lower than the number of violations revealed.

Foodstuffs worth 26,508,882 CZK were banned from circulation (out of this, 12,420,538 CZK worth of imported products in retailing; 6,372,106 CZK worth of domestic products in retailing; and 7,716,238 CZK worth of products in production).
