Food Safety in Poland (by Malgorzata Korzycka-Iwanow) - Currently ongoing in Polish legislation is the process of execution (of instructions) and transposition or implementation of EU regulations (directives). The new Polish law of 2006 on the safety of food and nutrition: a) implements the extensive EU law in the domain of food safety b) lays down the competences of public administration bodies and research entities in respect of food safety c) describes relations to other regulations that constitute the domestic legal order. Polish law expresses the Europeization of Poland’s legal order in respect of food safety; Polish administrative structures in a sense become European bodies which directly execute European law. The complicated and multilateral arrangement of norms concerning food safety puts the Polish legislator in the role of a connector between two separate legal orders: EU law and Polish law.
