Review of development of land ownership rights in Slovakia after the year 1948
Similarly they failed to interconnect the basic industry with food processing
industry what had a negative impact on agricultural basic industry.
The second significant milestone was entry of Slovakia into the European
Union as a full member. From the point of view of vinedresser and wine grower we
have become part of a huge market but at the same time we have also adopted a whole
number of restrictive provisions, decrees and regulations and related to them sanctions
that are most difficult for a ordinary person to cope with.
The system of subsidizing is also adjusted for big enterprises, so that newly
established small enterprises have a minimum chance to succeed. The whole process
of gaining subsidies from the structural funds of EU is very slow, time consuming,
administratively demanding with uncertain result. Therefore the majority of small
family enterprises have not even started to consider applying for them.
Moreover, in spite of more than 15 years since the beginning of the restitution
process due to complicated process of land adjustment, most original vineyards
owners acquired their land parcels back only recently and many are still waiting.
Based on the experience we had with communism we are very sensitive about
quotas of maximum vineyards areas of 22.300 ha determined by Brussels that must
not be exceeded.
In my opinion it means an unacceptable restriction of execution of ownership
rights, which in connection with the contents my contribution evokes rightful concern
and makes us keep an especially cautious and watchful eye on it.
