title = {Bauernland in Bauernhand? – Eine unionsrechtliche Untersuchung des polnischen Gesetzes über die Gestaltung der landwirtschaftlichen Flächenstruktur},
year = {2018},
note = {The following EU law study of the Polish Law on the Design of
Agricultural Land Structure gives an overview about the recent changes
published by the Polish government. Poland holds 8.8 percent of the
EU’s agricultural land and is therefore a major player in the
European agricultural market. From this economic perspective emerges
the significance of the twelve-year moratorium on the protection of
Polish agricultural land, which expired on May 1st, 2016. The law that
applied until then excluded the acquisition of Polish agricultural
land by nationals of other Member States as far as possible. Due to
the expiry of the transitional period, the National Conservative Party
PiS modified the Ustawa z dnia 2003 r. o kształtowaniu ustroju
rolnego (Law on the Design of Agricultural Land Structure, following
named UKUR) of April 11th, 2003. The newly enacted regulations
severely restrict the acquisition of agricultural land by setting up
numerous requirements. Therefore, in terms of the fully applicable law
of the European Union the issue of compliance with EU law is subject
to the restrictive Polish rules and to this study.},
