The aim of the article was to present the changes in the profitability of milk production in farms associated in EDF and situated in Poland and selected European countries in 2006–2012. It was found that after the Polish accession to the EU, the situation has improved for milk producers – economic and production results have risen. In 2008–2009, there was a significant deterioration in the profitability of milk production due to, among others, significant declines in milk prices. Since 2010, gradual improvement of the situation is observed. Similar changes occur in dairy farms in other European countries, such as Germany, France and the United Kingdom. This shows how big the interconnectedness between countries is and that the situation of agricultural producers in Poland does not depend only on the local and national market fluctuations, but primarily on fluctuations in the European and global markets.

The objective of the studies was to assess the efficiency of the functioning of Polish dairy farms (Type 45) against a background of similar farms from the selected European Union countries and to determine their ability to compete. The studies covered farms from the following countries: Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Austria, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and France. The analyzed data covered the 10-year period from 2006 to 2015. The source of research materials were data from farms from the European FADN . In order to measure effectiveness, the Malmquista productivity index was used. In the analyzed farms there was a slight decrease in productivity of the Malmquista index (by 0.3%). The decrease in the productivity value of dairy farms was caused by a drop in technical progress by 0.4% with an increase in technical efficiency by 0.2%. Slight changes in productivity were a consequence of the functioning of milk quotas in the EU. This mechanism effectively limited the increase in milk production, so the producers could only optimize the inputs.

Organic milk production is an environmentally friendly production system based on local forage and a ban on using chemical fertilizers and certain other rules. Organic milk is considered to be healthier and is gaining attention worldwide. The market for organic products is increasing. The aim of the paper was to analyze changes in the development of organic dairy production in Poland in the context of the EU. We analyzed the changes on the European Union (EU) level and the Poland level. To analyze the changes in organic milk production on European Union level, we used the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). Our results show that both organic milk production and the farm area used for organic production will increase. Moreover, we analyzed the organic dairy farms running rural accountancy within the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) in Poland in the years 2007–2018. We used tabular and graphic methods to present the data. In the analysis the methods of correlation and regression were used. Germany, France, Austria, and Great Britain are the countries with the largest numbers of organic dairy cows. Our prognosis examined the development of organic milk production in the European Union (EU). The number of cows on dairy organic farms will increase in most countries in the EU. Then, we analyzed the impact of the chosen factors on three dependent variables: organic milk production, total production of organic dairy farms, and income from family farms. The most important independent variables were cow numbers, the value of fixed assets, the value of current assets, long-term debt, and short-term debt.

The volume of milk production in the European Union is limited by quotas, thus dairy farms in Hungary can expand their production mostly at the others’ expenses after joining. In this way issues of arrangements arise relating to defining competitiveness of the already existing farms and not to farming new ones. The aims of my research is to find answers for dairy farms in the County of Hajdu-Bihar, depending on their arrangement (herd size, keeping technology, arable for forage production, handling manure, mechanisation, technician state of equipment) what possibilities they will have among the EU farmers.


Subject The impact of Brexit on northern European countries. Significance The United Kingdom's vote to leave the EU presents a particular challenge to northern EU countries -- some of which are, like the United Kingdom, not members of the euro-area -- as they will lose a powerful ally for a more competitive, fiscally disciplined and globally oriented EU. Impacts Brexit could accelerate a closer economic, financial and fiscal integration of the euro-area, which many non-euro-area capitals oppose. Brexit could widen the gap between an 'inner circle' of euro-area members and a periphery of non-euro ones. The loss of UK contributions to the EU budget means that the burden shouldered by northern EU countries, all net contributors, will rise.


Significance France has been one of the first European countries to prepare effectively for Brexit, setting up a task force in July 2016. It has since adopted a consistently hard line, helping solidify the EU position. Impacts France will push for a hard line on EU passporting rights for UK-based banks. In case of a ‘no deal’ Brexit, French regions will seek agreements on the maritime economy with the United Kingdom. France's hard line could irritate EU member states that are more willing to compromise to secure closer post-Brexit EU-UK ties.

Solidarity among member states, one of the European Union’s (EU) fundamental values, has recently been put to the test by numerous and diverse challenges that have led to a “crisis of solidarity.” In the United Kingdom, the decision in June 2016 by the electorate to vote to leave the EU revealed the British dimension of this crisis. However, little is known about the perceptions of other European citizens on this decision, even though it has contributed to shaping the present and future of the EU. In this article, using a representative survey conducted in eight European countries, including the United Kingdom, we aim to explore and contrast cross-country evidence on individual perceptions on Brexit. We then aim to establish if an association exists between the opinions on Brexit and the individual solidaristic attitudes and concrete behaviors of the survey respondents. The complex relationship between opinions on this event and expressions of solidarity at different levels (local, national, European, and beyond) will be explored using multivariate regression techniques as well as the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the survey respondents.

The European sugar beet quota system is in very high dynamic process in recent years. The number of sugar companies involved in this system has been constantly decreasing. The aim of this paper is to define subjects (companies/alliances), which possess the current production capacities working under the production quotas system. The paper is determining especially the level of beet sugar production quota holder system concentration using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. The paper provides the following findings. The European quota holder system is extremely concentrated and it is becoming more and more dominated by fewer players. Sugar quota is distributed among 19 EU-Member States. In this regard, the quota is generous, especially in relation to France, Germany, Poland and United Kingdom. In Finland, Lithuania, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Slovakia and the United Kingdom controlled by two or even one subject (companies, alliances). There is a large discrepancy between political efforts to distribute equitable R 1308/2013-sugar quotas among states and the actual reality of those distributions. While the EU-quota holder system does not indicate an extreme concentration, an analysis according to the headquarters´ location and allocated quotas to owners of production capacities provides the evidence of extreme concentration.

Providing the population with quality and safe food, in particular meat, is one of the main tasks facing agricultural producers. An important role is assigned to pig breeding, since pigs are characterized by high fertility and precocity [1, p. 25]. The aim of the work was to assess the productive qualities ofpure-bred and hybrid sows when crossing with purebred boars. The studies were conducted in the pig farm "Slavyanka". Productive qualities of sows were assessed by multiple pregnancy, large young, milk production, weight of the nest at birth and on the 30th day at weaning, as well as by the level ofpigs’ safety. These studies showed that hybrid sows outperformed purebred sows (13.70±0.40) in multiple pregnancy (14.6±0.04 piglets). The milk content of purebred sows was lower by 4.73 kg or 10.50 % than that of two-breed hybrids. The mass ofpiglets’ nest at birth in crossbred sows when crossing with Pietrain boar outperformed the mass ofpurebred sows’ nests by 3.4 kg, or 17,60%. The output of business piglets was almost the same and amounted to 13.01 heads have hybrid sows and 12.05 heads purebred. Safety of piglets was, respectively, 90% and 87%. Two-breed hybrids significantly outperformed purebred sows by nest weight at weaning by 14.3%, the average weight of one pig by 9.42%. Thus, studies have shown that crossbred sows crossed by terminal boar of Pietren breed, outperformed purebred ones on many para-metres.
