ACQUISITION OF OWNERSHIP OF AGRICULTURAL LAND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGISLATION OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

Abstract

The article focuses on the possibilities of transferring ownership to agricultural land in terms of the legislation of the French Republic. It approximates the local definition of agricultural land and its protection as part of the environment, but also as a subject of legal relations. There are special reasons why the legislator decided to grant agricultural land this status. Subsequently, the article states the procedure that must be followed to transfer ownership of these plots of land. Agricultural land is not a commodity and a common object of legal relations, but it deserves the special protection that this procedure leads to. In this case, the SAFER body has a special position, whose activity is focused on the protection of the countryside and agriculture in the regions. Its activity is unique even within the entire European Union. Finally, the article compares this legal arrangement with the situation in the Slovak Republic and brings several considerations.
