In the course of its development, starting with the organisation of agricultural markets, the Common Agricultural Policy has been confronted with many different, also non-agricultural problems. It had to respond to the requirements of environmental protection, structural and social policy, animal welfare, energy policy or climate protection. Nowadays, there are three different methods by which the relationship between agricultural law and non-agricultural legal issues is legally shaped: separation, connection and integration.

In the XV. volume on the Yearbook on Agricultural Law, current problems in agricultural law are examined and legal solutions are presented. Internationally, South Korea‘s approach to deregulation of farmland ownership restrictions and forced utilization is provided, and de minimis aid is explained from a Polish perspective. In terms of labelling law, the innovations and opportunities on the EU Organic Regulation No. 2048/848 are discussed. In a further contribution, the legal instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy are evaluated in various crisis scenarios. In addition, the increasing integration of environmental and climate protection concerns into the Common Agricultural Policy is documented. Another article focuses on the Common Fisheries Policy from the perspective of state aid law. This volume also continues the comprehensive overview of the monographs and journal articles on German and foreign agricultural law published between 2018 and 2020, which were included in the library of the institute. With contributions by Gottfried Holzer, Teahuan Keum, José Martínez, Georg Miribung, Rudolf Mögele and Aneta Suchon.

The article presents selected issues with the functioning of new linguistic phenomena in agricultural law. An analysis of the impact of changes in agricultural policy on the emergence of new concepts related to climate and environmental protection was performed. In this respect, the assumptions of the new Common Agricultural Policy concerning climate protection were analyzed in detail. The article also presents the basic new assumptions concerning the implemented innovative activities in agriculture. The evolution of particular terms in agricultural law, both in terms of meaning and linguistics, was also indicated.

‘While the Common Agricultural Policy may be well known for the political and financial problems to which it gives rise, the legal issues underlying it have not been so widely discussed’. Usher went on to note that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) lay behind many institutional developments, that agriculture was the first single market, and it was in the context of agricultural disputes that the Court of Justice of the European Union developed many of the general principles of Community (now European Union) law. So, whilst many will be familiar with the broad contribution that the CAP has made over the last sixty years, there are few who are more familiar with the legal intricacies of the policy. Part of the reason for this may be that close engagement with the administration of the CAP is not an easy exercise. Whilst the European institutions are responsible for setting not only the broad framework of the policy but also, in certain cases, the details of various aspects of the policy, implementation has been devolved to the Member States.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a cornerstone of EU policy relating to rural areas. Initially, it aimed to provide a harmonised framework for maintaining adequate supplies, increasing productivity and ensuring that both consumers and producers received a fair deal in the market. These priorities have shifted to environmental and animal welfare concerns, as well as food safety and security aspects. As a consequence, the CAP has gradually moved from a production-based structure of subsidies to a market-oriented system, integrating standards for food, environment and biodiversity, as well as animal welfare. In 2010, the EU launched an extensive debate on the future of the CAP, as the European Union needs a better tailored, reformed Common Agricultural Policy to answer the challenges of food, growth and jobs in rural areas. The European agriculture must address the expectations of rural society and demands of the market concerning public goods, the environment and climate change. This raises questions of whether the CAP payments in the past have been effective in achieving their objectives and whether direct payments should be continued for supporting agricultural environmental issues.

Reducing the budget for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has given rise to a wide public response and debate both in practice and in the scientific community, as well. The purpose of this study is to study the dependence of income on direct payments, thus demonstrating their importance for agricultural producers. The methods used to convey the present study are scientific research methods: comparative analysis method, induction and deduction method, retrospective analysis and others; illustrative methods - tables, figures and others. Regarding the expected results, this article focuses on the study of indicators for measuring dependence of the income of direct payments made by agricultural producers in terms of achieving economic impact on them. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are set: to characterize the parameters for the study of the relationship between income and direct payments to agricultural producers; to analyze the relationship between income and direct payments to producers via the indicators studied; to bring out the results of the indicators studied for analyzing the relationship between income and direct payments to producers.

AbstractThis study examines the policy preferences of political groups in the 8th European Parliament regarding the design of agricultural policy and the integration of environmental goals therein. Due to the high degree of Europeanization of the Common Agricultural Policy, the analysis of party positions at the EU level is particularly interesting. To what extent are the positions of political groups changing against the background of the increasing public awareness for environmental and animal welfare issues in agricultural policy? By means of a discourse network analysis of the plenary debates on selected policy proposals during the 8th term of the European Parliament, the positions of the political groups in agricultural policymaking are explored. The comparative analysis clearly reveals differences in problem perceptions and preferred policy solutions between the different political groups. Substantive differences are apparent between the EPP on the one side and the Greens/EFA and the GUE/NGL on the other side. EPP members still mostly represent traditional agricultural goals such as food security and income support for farmers, whereas the Greens/EFA and the GUE/NGL deputies promote a change towards a more environmentally and animal welfare friendly agricultural policy. At the same time, the analysis reveals a broad consensus across political groups regarding the general need to increasingly integrate sustainability concerns in the design of the future Common Agricultural Policy.
