THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS TRADING SYSTEM
AS A FORM
OF REGULATING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Summary
The paper aims to establish the legal framework of the regulation of agricultural production implemented to combat
climate change. An attempt is also made to settle numerous doubts arising from the implementation by public administration
bodies of the obligation of participating in the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the EU community. The
European Union soft law and the political announcements herald further international commitments that Poland will make to
reduce greenhouse gases emission. These will certainly have an impact on agricultural production, and will require separate
regulations that will account for its specific character. It is postulated that the extension of the European Union Emissions
Trading System on the agricultural sector should account for the fundamental principles of the agricultural regime. Pursuant
to the provisions of the basic law of a number of EU Member States including Poland, family farms have already been
granted a special legal status, and that status should be extended on the greenhouse gas emissions allowance trading system
as well.
