The sustainable development indicator system, adopted in the European Union, is discussed. On this basis, using the Eurostat database, an analysis of data characterizing the performance of sustainable development in the Member States, including Poland, was carried out. This assessment has enabled to rank the Member Countries in terms of the level of implementation of sustainable development.

An analysis and assessment of headline sustainable development indicators for EU-28 in the years 2004-2015 was made and Eurostat served as a source of required data. During this period, Poland has been obliged to meet a number of the Union criteria and received financial support from the EU budget. A ranking of countries has been proposed, reflecting their progress in the implementation of sustainable development, depicting the place occupied by Poland.

The number of member-states has increased nearly 5-fold. Therefore, the need of new institutional and legal solution is urgent. Political context of the undergoing integration processes is different than at the beginnings: the "cold war" is the past. The threat of large military conflict is in Europe smallish. New threats and challenging are emerging, instead of: terrorism, organized crimes and natural environment protection. There are new "actors" at the global economic and political scenewith increasing importance of China, India and other "emerging markets". A historical perspective leads to better understanding of these processes and to find better solutions. And brings to light foundations of the European unity: common civilization values and the aim of peaceful development.
The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union – the present and the future EU Member States point of view, 2018

Published in two volumes materials refer directly to the current and future of the CAP in EU and non EU member states, the strategic objectives and principles of agricultural policy for the agri-food sector and rural areas, address the issues of equilibrium between agriculture, forestry and land use, relate to the dilemmas for the EU budget and the CAP after 2020, CAP instruments and their adjustment, transformations of the rural economy and programming of the rural and agricultural policy, as well as productivity and production efficiency and tensions between sectoral action and between different models of territorial activities.

Punktem wyjścia do rozważań nad sukcesami i porażkami trwających od piętnastu lat reform jest niepowodzenie wcześniejszej strategii gospodarczej – prób znalezienia „trzeciej drogi” rozwoju pomiędzy kapitalizmem a socjalizmem. Doprowadziło to do zwrotu ku reformom rynkowym. Następnie skoncentrowano się na trzech istotnych zagadnieniach: programie naprawczym sektora przedsiębiorstw państwowych, liberalizacji handlu i otwarciu na kapitał zagraniczny (ograniczenie ceł, odchodzenie od licencjowania importu, wymienialność rupii, inwestycje zagraniczne) oraz wpływie podjętych reform na rolnictwo.

Nevertheless some remarkable difficulties have emerged. Some of them are related to low production quotas in dairy, sugar and starch sectors. Authors of this Poster argue that the level of starch quota inscribed for Poland is incompatible with the principle of fair competition on the inner EU market. The quota ceiling of mere 145 thousand tons is a heavy constraint to the processing plants – their total processing capacities are estimated for some 220-260 thousand tons. Therefore, they are utilized in c. 56- 66 %, leading to the increase of unit costs of starch production of about 9,2 % and decrease of the competitiveness. Another point is the ratio of the quota to the volume of harvests: 0,1121 for Denmark, 0,057 for Germany and (only) 0,0131 for Poland. Furthermore, the domestic consumption of starch products in Poland is two-fold bigger than the quota with resultant increase of importation. Paradoxically, such practice...
