Umowa dotycząca dostawy mleka surowego jako instrument prawny systemu organizacji rynku mleka i przetworów mlecznych w Polsce

Abstract

Initially, the milk and milk products market was a subject to administrative and legal instruments, with the milk quota system playing a key role. The aim was to reduce the imbalance between the supply and demand and resulting structural surpluses in this sector and thereby to achieve a better market balance. The reconstruction of the normative system of organization of the milk and milk products sector which began in 2003 resulted from the needs of the changing economic situation and led to a definitive abandonment of the quota system of milk production since 1 April 2015. The purpose of this paper is to present the legislative process which results in the creation of specific regulations governing the contracts for supply of raw milk which are an instrument influencing the milk and milk products sector and to draw attention to the most important aspects of their introduction into the Polish legal system.
