The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the changes in environmental impact of Polish agriculture and to determine the conditions of this process during Poland’s membership in the European Union. This paper presents the results of surveys on changes in emission of pollutants and in other impacts of agricultural production on water, climate and biodiversity in 2003–2015. Based on statistical data and factual information, the author conducted a descriptive and comparative analysis of the processes in question. The study period witnessed a 50% increase in fertilization rates together with the related impact on greenhouse gas emission from ag- ricultural soils and a three-fold increase in the consumption of plant protection products (as well as the increased use external productive inputs). All of these developments were driven by direct payments from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The changes in environmental impacts of agriculture prove that after joining the EU, changes towards production inten- sification were accompanied by an increased direct pressure on water quality. Changes in livestock production emissions were not directly related to instruments under the first pillar of the CAP. The direct regulatory instruments for environ- mental protection failed to sufficiently mitigate the increase in the discharge of nitrates into water and in greenhouse gas emissions (2.4% in 2003–2015) and the harmful impacts on biodiversity.

Abstract In the central part of the European Union soybean, lupin and camelina are minor agricultural crops. The paper presents analysis of plant protection products availability for those crops in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Data from year 2019 show that availability of products is generally insufficient. For camelina in some countries, there are no chemical products available whatsoever. For lupin and soybean, there are not always products available to control some pest groups. However, the products on the market differ significantly among the member states. The results show that in protection of soybean, lupin and camelina, no single active substance is registered for the same crop in all the analysed member states. In very numerous cases, active substance is registered in one out of eight analysed member states only.

The aim: The toxicological-hygienic assessment of dermal absorption of diquat in terms of potential risk of its bioavailability in professional use. Materials and methods: The object of the study was cutaneous exposure of diquat, determined in toxicological experiments of different duration (data of scientific literature) and at the stage of state testing of pesticide preparations based on diquat dibromide (data of a full-scale hygiene experiment, prognostic model of risk assessment), the technical concentrate of diquat dibromide (active substance content not less than 377 g / kg) contains relevant supplements, the content of which is regulated by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Results and conclusions: Due to the high risk of the diquat adverse effects affecting the personnel, general public and environment, the European Union has introduced administrative decisions to forbid plant protection products containing the diquat. Fulfillment of the conditions of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union indicates the need to develop common regulations and risk assessment methods aimed at ensuring high level of protection of human health and the environment.

Impact of Brexit on Zonal Approval Procedures and Mutual Recognition Procedures in Plant Protection Legislation

The Impact

On 29 March 2017, the UK made use of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and thus initiated its withdrawal from the European Union. As a result, the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020 (23:00 UTC). This paper provides a legal assessment of the impact of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) on zonal authorisation and mutual recognition procedures regarding the authorisation of plant protection products. Many legal issues are unclear in this respect due to the lack of European and national case law. The German Administrative Court of Braunschweig had to decide in an urgent procedure on the effects of Brexit with regards to the authorisation of a plant protection product in the mutual recognition procedure.
