Prawna regulacja rolnictwa ekologicznego – próba oceny
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2010) LEŚKIEWICZ, KATARZYNA
The paper presents an attempt to evaluate the legal regulation of organic agriculture taking into consideration three reference points, i.e. relationships between properties of organic agricultural products ascribed to them by the legislator and properties of these products proposed by science, stipulations of legal solutions (institutions), which are to provide an assurance of organic products having properties indicated by the legislator, and the evaluation of the impact of such indicated legal solutions on the assurance that agricultural products labelled as organic have properties indicated by the legislator. The biggest objections are voiced in relation to a certain discrepancy between potential deviations from the requirements concerning organic production declared admissible by the legislator and scientific proposals referring to the principles of this production. Numerous possible deviations result in the fact that such understood quality of organic products differs from the model indicated by science. Legal solutions concerning the consistency of organic products with the requirements specified by the legislator are to provide this consistency at a high degree, but not in an absolute manner, since the legal regulation itself is not perfect in this respect and at the same time it is not always appropriately applied.
