The purpose of research is to analyze selected social indicators of rural sustainable development in the EU Member States in 2000-2012, and to determine their main tendencies. To describe those tendencies and changes that took place in rural areas, the factor analysis has been implemented. Three main factors have been worked out to determine the synthetic index (SI) of social development of rural areas of the EU Member States. It enabled the authors to affirm that the leading EU countries in terms of social development are Luxemburg, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden, those among the least developed are the countries, which joined the EU after two last waves of its enlargement, namely Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. The main reasons for such a differentiation are the quality of rural life related problems: rural poverty due to low incomes, great dependence on agriculture, depopulation, poor infrastructure etc.
In the enlarged European Union the agricultural structure are diverse in most of the member states, but they have to use the same agricultural policy, which could have different effect in the agricultural sector. It is necessary to analyze and become acquainted with the agricultural structure in the Visegrad Group to form the Common Agricultural Policy reform.
The paper includes the issues related to sustainable development in the energy-using sectors in the European Union countries. The paper presents the analysis of participation of renewable energy in the total energy consumption in these sectors of the European economy. It was found that participation of renewable energy in the total energy balance continues to increase, differs in each country and is not dependent on the macroeconomic situation. Strong positive correlation between participation of renewable energy and afforestation rate was found, which is caused by largely involvement of biomass in renewable energy. The research indicates that the economic aspect for sustainable energy development is of low importance, the ethical field and the need to preserve resources for future generations are crucial.
Investigating regional differences on a domestic and international scale is a current scientific issue. EU integration after enlargement in 2004 has provided a more complex picture. In the present study, the assessment of regional differences is based on the much criticized but most widely accepted measure – GDP per capita of the NUTS 2 regions of EU member states standardized by purchasing power parity. The study is based on three major issues, providing the following hypotheses: (H1) not all of the capital regions are the most progressive amongst member states; (H2) the Eastern European countries’ capital region is not included in the first 20% of the development list; (H3) the farther we are from the centre of the EU, the higher the territorial discrepancies within the regions of each member state. Due to the complexity of EU territory, only some hypotheses have been possible to understand and justify.
The paper presents an analysis of the impact of the EU enlargement in 2004 on the agricultural output and incomes of the EU Member States. The main aim of the study is to test the significance of difference of reaction to enlargement in three distinct groups of members, namely the ‘old’ fifteen Member States, the ‘new’ ten Member States which accessed the EU on May 1st 2004, and the two ‘newest’ Member States, i.e. Romania and Bulgaria which accessed the EU on January 1st 2007. For the purpose of description of different countries behaviour a linear mixed model was applied.

The current paper aims to outline the potential and most important aspects of the Strategic Environmental Assessment process (directive 2001/42/EC). First of all, the analysis considers the importance of evaluation instruments in decision-making processes and moves on to environmental assessment, focusing on the peculiarities of Strategic Environmental Assessment. Although SEA is an innovative instrument in favouring and promoting a democratic approach to the government and development of the territory, it nonetheless presents a series of problems. The latter regard aspects such as: its integration into planning and programming activities, its role within these processes, the methodologies applied, stakeholder involvement, the quality of the assessment process and the how the suggestions are perceived and acknowledged.
The paper attempts to contribute to the discussion of the agricultural support distribution in the framework of Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. Author used European Commission statistics of direct payments to explore the distribution patterns across farm holdings in EU Member States. The results show that distribution of direct payments is skewed towards a small number of very large holdings in a few Member States. Across the whole EU, 85% of direct payments funded from common budget went to the largest 19% of their recipients in 2005. In Poland, income from direct payments was also unfairly distributed.
The paper aims to evaluate whether or not the last EU enlargement to the new 10 member states (EUN-10) has influenced the intra EU trade of agricultural products. In particular, the analysis focuses on the effects on trade between two groups of countries EU-15 and EUN-8 (i.e. the Central-Eastern Europe new members countries) of the EU-accession process. The import-export flows show a noticeable increase in trade between the two areas over the last decade. This increase surely stems from the opening up process, but according to second best theory in international trade which applies to Customs Unions – it not necessarily favours efficiency as far as social welfare is concerned. The analysis shows also that the comparative advantages in certain products, which ten years ago fuelled trade, do not appear to have altered the position of the two groups of countries. Focusing on agricultural products the integration process, which was already underway during the pre-accession period, has maintained and not reduced their specific specialization.
In 2004, eight Central and Eastern European countries joined the European Union. Their agriculture was significantly behind the majority of the 15 former EU member countries both from technical and productivity perspectives. In the common market the competitiveness of products and producers is a key factor. One important factor of competitiveness is labour productivity, which can be divided into partial factors such as technical equipment (tools) and the resulting productivity from those tools. The study examines the changes of these two partial productivity factors in Poland and Hungary as well as the countries integrated in 2004. The research question was whether the Central and Eastern European countries were able to shorten the gap behind EU-15 countries. The results indicate that over the course of a decade labour productivity in Hungarian farms increased, however, the pace of farm investments lagged far behind the EU-15 countries, resulting in more efficient capital use. The rate of Polish farm investments in agriculture was higher than that of the EU-15 countries, while the relative disadvantage in labour productivity, as well as in capital productivity did not decrease.
The article estimates the static effects of a customs union in agri-food trade of the new Member States of the European Union. It was proved that in all the countries of Central and Eastern Europe which are members of the Community the acceptance of Community acquis in trade policy resulted in both the effect of trade creation and trade diversion, where the former was stronger.
By virtue of Directive 2004/35/EC on environmental liability, and with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage, the European Community has developed a legal framework for liability for threat of environmental damage or the occurrence of environmental damage. Its provisions have also determined the duty of the Member States concerning the implementation of regulations necessary to force through the provisions of the above-mentioned act of union law by 30 April, 2007. Such a state of affairs extorts actions, the aim of which is to settle contentious matters which will make the introduction of necessary legal changes possible. Due to the lack of consensus both among the academic representatives in Polish legal circles and other Member States as to the kind of responsibility (which was used by the EC legislator in the Directive), the issue undoubtedly belongs to the group of problems indicated above. On the other hand, the relevance of the issue for the process of effective realization of the aim of the legal act being established, the law unequivocally recommends that its settlement should have priority.
The European Union member states are main trading partners of Poland. They accounted for over half (51.6%) of the turnover in farm and food trade in 2003. The main partners on the export side are: Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy; and on the import side are Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. Trade in farm and food goods with the European Union was favourable for Poland for the first time since 1993. The trade balance in 2003 closed with a surplus of 218 mln USD. A positive trade balance also occurred in 2004. Poland has gained trade advantages in the food sector after integration with the EU.
