  • Keywords:agricultural system; agricultural real estate; acquisition of real estate; limitations; foreigner; succession;agricultural law;
  • Summary/Abstract:Legal situation of a foreigner that acquires an agricultural property in Poland by way of succession is not simple. It is governed by provisions of March 24, 1920 on the acquisition of real estate by foreigners as well as the act of April 11, 2003 on formation of the agricultural system. The article provides a critical analysis of provisions of the above-mentioned acts as well as attempts to answer the question on the purport of amendments made, constituting a regress in relation to the provisions applicable before 1996. Considerations reveal a negative impact of the analyzed acts on the legal situation of a foreigner-successor acquiring an agricultural property located in Poland. It is difficult to find justification for the sense of implemented regulations, particularly in relation to the right of succession. It shall be another evidence of doubts, which are raised by a casuistic method of regulation, which requires a multidimensional interpretation.

  • Page Range:121-134
  • No. of Pages:14
  • Keywords:agricultural law; commercial law companies; business activity in agriculture; Code of Commercial Companies; commercial law; civil law; agricultural land;agricultural real estate;
  • Summary/Abstract:Due to the current law regulations commercial law companies are not a suitable form of running business in agriculture. It is confirmed by data which show that farmers do not run their farms in a business form. It is due to the fact that the current regulations do not meet the requirements of the specific industry which is the agricultural industry. Changes made by the legislator in terms of acquisition of agricultural property by commercial law companies do not encourage using this form of conducting business, either. According to current provisions, an acquisition of agricultural property is possible only after obtaining the permission from the General Director of the National Centre for Agricultural Support. The legislator, in accordance with the postulates raised by representatives of the doctrine as well as the farmers themselves, should meet their expectations and consider creating an agricultural company separate from other legal persons. Such a company should correspond with socio-economic relations taking place in the countryside.

  • Keywords:the project of Agrarian Code (1928); codification of agricultural law; Władysław Leopold Jaworski (1865–1930); agricultural law reform; Polish agrarian law
  • Summary/Abstract:The Agrarian Code draft of 1928 written by W.L. Jaworski was one of the most dare and original concepts of Polish agricultural legislation ever. Unfortunately, it does not hold a significant position in the Polish doctrine of agricultural law to this day. The works of R. Budzinowski regarding the codification of agricultural law have not inspired so far to comprehensively comment this pre-war project. The limitations of this article do not allow for the comprehensive analysis to be prepared, either. Therefore, the article focuses on selected aspects of the Agrarian Code draft – selected assumptions and regulations of the draft (especially the substantive law part) and its reception by scholars and officials just after a few months following its publication (they were extreme – from enthusiastic to rejecting). The article’s summary is a recapitulation of the concept of W.L. Jaworski and reflection on its possible adoption for the theoretical work on the agricultural code in Poland, which is postulated by the Author of this article.

  • Keywords:agricultural holding; tax on civil law actions;budget of the commune;
  • Summary/Abstract:A unit of local government, such as the commune, should be in good financial condition to perform all duties imposed on it. The main source of the commune’s budget is its income, which are divide into including own income. Revenues from tax on civil law actions are part of its own income. In spite of the existing principle of the universality of taxation, a broad list of exemptions has been introduced in the Law of tax on civil law actions. One of them is the exemption from tax on civil law actions in the sale of a farm under statutory conditions. Despite the initial plans of the legislator involving the abandonment of this exemption, it was thoroughly revised in 2016. The amendment has ended the possibility of over-interpretation and abuse of exemption by entrepreneurs purchasing land for investment purposes on the one hand, and on the other hand by persons using agricultural land only for recreational purposes. The legislator, without abandoning, but only amending the discussed exemption, took into account the fact that one should strive to promote the agrarian structure, support farms and increase the area of agricultural production.

  • Subject(s):Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence
  • Page Range:205-216
  • No. of Pages:12
  • Keywords:minimum durability date; food waste; „use by” date; food durability;food law;
  • Summary/Abstract:The aim of the article is to discuss legal aspects of food labelling with the durability date, its impact on the functioning of products on the market, as well as the effects in the form of a growing amount of food waste. Basing on the existing legal regulations, the author will analyze the basic differences between the date of minimal durability and “use by” date, which although significantly different, are often confused not only in the consumer turnover, but also by the legislator itself. In addition to the criteria for the use of the referenced signs and effects associated with the expiration of both dates, the author will show how their misapplication affects the phenomenon of food waste. A large part of the article is also an analysis of the proposed legislative changes, which in the author’s opinion are insufficient. They do not eliminate the problem of throwing out hundreds of tons of fully safe food after the end of the minimum durability date, although only the expiry of the validity period is associated with the need to withdraw food from the market, which has a direct impact on food safety and environmental protection.

  • No. of Pages:14
  • Keywords:circular economy; closed loop economy; linear economy; natural resources; food design; food production; food products; management of wastes; food wastes; catering wastes; municipal wastes; wasting of
  • Summary/Abstract:The circular economy means the closed loop economy. The assumption of circular economy is to maintain each food product in the economy for as long as possible, to minimize the generation of waste. The food product must be produced and consumed with a view to its further processing and utilizing the food waste in an effective and ecological way. Each stage of a food product’s life is equally important for its further use, since it affects the processes of obtaining secondary raw materials and the use of natural resources. The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy aims to create a sustainable, low-emission, resource-efficient and competitive economy. However, this transformation requires regulatory framework and appropriate tools that will allow, among other things, the implementation of constructive and practical solutions, both in the design and food production phase. These activities could result in the reduction of food waste, increase in the secondary raw materials base and -decrease in the amount of waste incinerated from food. The above is currently implemented through the European Union initiatives that create a new framework for the circular economy for each product. Poland’s response to the invitation to implement the idea of the circular economy are various horizontal actions and defining the most prominent areas for the development of this economic model. The most important, inter alia, are the bioeconomy and sustainable consumption, i.e. the use of food products in a way that minimizes the use of natural resources and waste production.

  • Subject(s):Language and Literature Studies
  • Page Range:263-276
  • No. of Pages:14
  • Keywords:food law; consumer law; European Union law; nutrition claims;health claims;
  • Summary/Abstract:The article aims to present selected elements of the nutrition and health claims, regulated in regulation 1924/2006. One of the main reasons for regulating this subject of the EU regulation was the differing rules in the member states on this matter – which led to unequal levels of competition and consumer protection on the EU internal market. In the opinion of the EU legislator, the aim of the harmonization of the regulations is to ensure the effective functioning of the internal market and a high level of consumer protection. The characteristic feature of nutritional and health claims is their completely voluntary application by entities running food businesses. The article contains the statements of representatives of the doctrine of food and consumer law. The author also attempts to answer the question whether this regulation adequately protects the interests of consumers.

  • Author(s):Jędrzej Sadowski
  • Language:Polish
  • Subject(s):Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence
  • Page Range:277-293
  • No. of Pages:17
  • Keywords:industrial hemp; cannabidiol; CBD; CBD oil; THC; novel food
  • Summary/Abstract:The lack of national regulations of hemp-derived products – extracts containing CBD that are currently sold on the Polish market as nutritional supplements – presents challenges for healthcare providers and the hemp industry. In accordance with EU regulations, products containing CBD are considered to be ‘novel food’ or medicines and can only be placed on the market following a novel food safety assessment or registration as a pharmaceutical product. Poland’s July 2017 medical cannabis law did not address the status of CBD products and they are therefore not subject to the new registration procedure. This legal ambiguity creates challenges with respect to the interpretation of existing regulations and the presentation of evidence, as discussed below, which could hinder the development of the industry in accordance with social and market demands.
