Selected Legal Issues of Modern Forms of Environmental Protection on the Example of National Parks and the Networks of Natura 2000 Sites, Taking into Account Coexistence with Agriculture

Summary/Abstract: Modern Polish agriculture in the new national and EU financial perspective for the period 2014‒2020 is facing new challenges regarding the introduction of practices that are favourable for the climate and the environment, i.e. the so-called “greening” of the Common Agricultural Policy. The problem will be to appropriately inform farmers about the benefits from new solutions and encouraging them to take advantage of altered forms of assistance in the scope of direct payments. Even today, when the principle of cross-compliance applies, more than 700 thousand eligible agricultural holdings do not use the available financial assistance. New environmental and climatic requirements for nature protection can only increase the number of farmers who will not benefit from direct payments at all. The main de lege ferenda legal issue is the conflicting nature of the European and national legal norms. In this respect, comprehensive legal analysis should be conducted both in the sphere of public law, as well as private-public environmental obligations of farmers.
