Przejawy europeizacji w prawie rolnym

Abstract

The problem of europeisation of Polish law is nowadays one of the question undertaken in almost every scientific sphere, this phenomenon undeniably is concerned with agricultural law, as well. The purpose of the present paper is an attempt to review the influence of European law by analysis of certain legal solutions: instruments of environmental protection in agriculture achieved by legal rules of applying pesticides, instruments of support to farmers in mountains and other areas with natural handicap, and instruments of direct payments. With regard to conducted analyses it is possible to find out new priorities of Common Agricultural Policy reflected in binding regulations. The development of European regulations in the field of environmental protection in agriculture reflects the Treaty of Rome principle to harmonious and balanced development of economic activities, sustainable growth respecting the environment. The analysis of presented regulations shows the tendency to regulate agri–environment questions uniformly on EU level but with regional differences in local regulations. The necessity of regionalization of legal instruments can’t mean the possibility to even temporal exceptions to rules protecting human health, safety of food, and protection of environment. The analysis of chosen instruments shows that European legislator decided to use regionalization instruments in direct payments shames. This confirms the thesis of straight connection of agri market policy purposes with other political principles : protection of public health, assurance of proper quality of food, animal welfare, and environmental protection. Considering above mentioned data this regulation requires uniform instruments but with respect for regional differentiation. As a result of the conducted analyses it has also been indicated that the assumptions of unification of agricultural law do not mean the loss of influence of individual countries on the shape of legal regulations.
