Administrative liability of a farmer acting as food business operator
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Wojciechowski, Paweł
The objective of this article is to demonstrate the scope of administrative liability of farmers as food business operators in the light of European Union law and Polish law. Two concepts that are of essential importance in agricultural law as well as food law are discussed. These two are in a cross-relationship. Farmers who within their agricultural activity produce food for commercial purposes or produce agricultural raw materials which after processing may become food are food business operators subject to the requirements of food law. It is then concluded that the shaping of administrative liability of farmers operating as food businesses and in particular the selection of administrative sanctions and determination of situations in which their liability may be excluded is of material importance for the efficiency of food law provisions that determine requirements related to the running of agricultural activity in the area of food production.
