“Trading Act earth is there to stop the speculation that took place in the last 8 years. Sale was uncontrolled. There were irregularities with that coalition swept unable to sort out, “- he says the guy Counterintelligence RMF FM, Agriculture Minister Krzysztof Jurgiel. He adds that “in Europe there are restrictions on agricultural real estate.” “Does that make sense? This may be a different assessment, “- commented the minister. Jurgiel predicted that “foreigners will have very limited access to Polish soil – as it is in Germany, Denmark or France.” “We’re not green island Tusk only country in the European Union, which has adopted certain rules when it comes to land management. The need for our nation is such that the land was cultivated by professionals and that is not passed into the wrong hands “- says Krzysztof Jurgiel. “Earth is the national value and should be family farms, developed by the Poles” – says the guy Counterintelligence. He adds that no one forbids foreigners to buy Polish land, but they must meet the conditions, eg. To live in Poland, because this is the agricultural policy of the EU. Purpose of the Act on trading in the ground? “Improving the structure of farms and niedążenie to concentrate on one hand” – corresponds to the minister of agriculture. In his opinion “in Poland suddenly a group begins to raise your voice, because it will be a problem with the transfer of land from the poles.”
When asked about why Polish farm may have more than 300 hectares, equivalent to that the government does not want to “go back to the fact that in Poland were the landlords and the concentration of land”, and the standard was set in 2003. I am an advocate of smaller area. There are countries where it is 100 ha – said the minister. In his opinion, to date agricultural policy has been conducted badly, “because not taken care of the development of medium and small farms.”
Konrad Piasecki: Minister, what password, what thought, what the dogma guided by this new, loud and controversial regulations on trading in the ground?
Law and Justice deputy: First of all, inhibition of speculation, which took place in the last 8 years.
But I really like this Polish land speculation and so everyone on the Polish land threw?
The sale was uncontrolled. But remember these strikes, the protests – especially Szczecin, Western Pomerania. There were irregularities, which, unfortunately, that coalition swept she could not sort out. Still talking about the preparation of the law that will stop this practice, but adopted the law in August last year – the great slogans defense of Polish land – turned out to be shoddy law that sanctions what was and after May 1, there would be an uncontrolled flow of Polish land in foreign hands .
Minister, I understand that in that case is the law, which is taken under the slogan “Poland Polish soil for the farmer,” but still the land under state control or under the rotation of the earth State control.
I want to say, Mr Editor, that across Europe there are restrictions on trade in agricultural property …
… but do they make sense? Because they are, but is it all make sense?
This may be a different assessment. There are solutions. I think that if we have a Constitution that the basis of management are family farms, which is why you need to prepare solutions that will enable the creation of these farms by changing the structure, by creating conditions for their formation and the bill prepared by typing as the basic principle that the buyer agricultural real estate in Poland should be an individual farmer …
… and a Polish farmer individual …
… leading or intending to lead the family farm. Not Polish, because such records to make, we can not, and any other conditions or the principle of acquisition mean that foreigners will have very limited access to land, as it is in Germany, Denmark, France, in all European Union countries.
Because you, Mr. Minister, is the belief that no one, as the Polish farmer will not take the Polish underground.
No, I do not have such a belief … They are experts in all countries, and the land is the national value and should be family farms, mostly grown or developed by Polish farmers by the Poles.
But what would happen if, for example, Danish or Dutch farmer bought a piece of Polish land?
I do not forbid it. Can buy, but must meet certain conditions, must personally lead the farm, it must here simply to live. This is not a ban: in Denmark or in Germany or in France is similar bans. In Denmark, if you want to buy a farm in another country, then you have to sell all his possessions. That is the policy, when it comes to agricultural policy of the EU.
Why farm in Poland can not have more than 300 ha? Why someone can not buy a 500 ha?
Such a standard was set in 2003, before the EU …
But again I ask – is it it is wise?
… I remember, they were carried expertise that most farm family can be the basis of this system, which is enshrined in the Constitution. Specialists, experts have determined that it is approx. 300 hectares. I am personally a supporter of smaller areas, because there are countries where it is 100 ha, 150 ha. This is in my opinion the standard Area, which should be …
So, 300, and so too much, right?
… but no majority decided in 2003, it is the consensus contained then between all political forces …
Minister, but complain even in the grounds of this Act, the Polish farmer has little income. Well, it might give him the right to buy 500 hectares, then it will have a big income.
Polish farmer is not so little income, but these are legacy associated with the condition of farms with poorer financial standing of our farmers, agricultural policy, which was conducted poorly, supported by our government legislative package common agricultural policy, which is not taken care of the development of medium and small farms. Poland has a small surface when it comes to the average household. Here should be the policy, which will be gradually introduced, and sought to ensure that the income of our farmers were lower than revenues in EU countries.
But what would happen if Polish farmer could buy more than 300 ha? Can you explain it?
Nothing would have happened, and again I emphasize: the Constitution – the family farm is one that gives a dignified income families and this principle is accepted in Poland and in other countries, and we do not want to go back …
But why not change it?
… to ensure that they were in Poland landlords that was the concentration of land, is the purpose of the Act, but remember that this the purpose of the law, that you should not try to land concentration is saved since 2003. This is not our idea, please see the introduction to the Act, there are three points: to improve the structure of farms is one goal, and niedążenie to concentrate in one hand. These are goals that every government, in this case the Minister must pursue.
Why do I, a resident of Warsaw, I have no right to purchase agricultural land? If I wanted today to carry and set up a vineyard of 10 hectares to buy – can not I?
Ma pa law, you must meet the minimum preparation when it comes to agriculture …
It’s me to prepare on their own. My risk.
Postgraduate you can end up, to know what are the principles of cultivating the land.
Minister, but our grandfathers not finished studies of agricultural and somehow gave counsel with the land.
