Status prawny działalności pszczelarskiej w Hiszpanii
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Różański, Krzysztof
The aim of this article is an attempt to establish the legal status of apiculture in Spain. The analysis is made on the basis of a survey and assessment of relevant EU law and Spanish law. Regarding the latter, a special attention was given to royal decree No 209 of 2002 establishing the basis concept categories related to apiculture, sanitary, epidemiological and zootechnical provisions as well as registration and identification connected with the locations of apiaries, and royal decree No 608 of 2006 establishing the national programme for fighting and control bee diseases and honey, intended to protect bee farms against bee parasites and diseases. In the author’s opinion apiculture in Spain is a breeding activity and a type of agricultural activity. In some situations this activity may be governed by domestic commercial law, for instance when the producer carries out economic activity organised in one of the legal forms provided for in Spanish commercial law.
