The changing of the role of the agriculture in society is functional to the European goal of reinforcement of the economic and social cohesion, increasing the traditional attitude of the prime sector to collect different interests. Nearby the principal activities there are now environmental services, i.e. running and maintenance of woods and forest areas. According to national and European Law, some of those environmental services can be considered public services performed for general interests. For the Author, there are two categories of environmental services. One includes those services that are carried out by agri-businesses "widely identified" (i.e. activities due to articles 9 and 17 of the Italian Law n. 97/1994 and articles 14, par. 3 and 15, par. 2 of the legislative decree n. 228/2001, and due to the European regulation n. 1782/2003); the second category includes environmental services that are foreseen by the European regulation n. 1698/2005, and are performed by farmers only when are useful for environmental goals.

Since then, the role of agriculture in national economies has changed substantially and with it the very foundations of agriculture and agricultural policy. Since the end of 2007, how many front pages were devoted to agriculture? The significant increase in prices of agri-food products, the food versus fuel, the use of biotechnology, food fraud, speculation all these issues refocus attention on agriculture. But regardless of the breaking news, this is also the sign of the new role that agriculture plays since a long time. The farmer no longer produces food. The job of a farmer has become more complex. After having quickly recalled the evolution and achievements of fifty years of agricultural policy, attention will be particularly dedicated to the health check of PAC done in 2008, in the context (rectius different contexts) in which CAP will be called to operate in view of 2013 - end of the budget period - and, mainly, in view of the post 2013. After having analysed the procedural innovations that the Lisbon Treaty introduces into the 2003 CAP reform, we will tackle the long-lasting issue of CAP funding in the persistent global economic crisis and in a context of multilateral negotiations stalling. And in particular, we will wonder how the current single payment scheme in close cooperation with the second pillar (rural development) and with the flexibility tools introduced in the health check can provide an answer to the perennial question of justification for Community support to farmers.

The purpose of this redefinition contains a second one in itself: to establish in general if a public Ethic is necessary. The typically polemic expectation, that request of rules emerges on, pertains to the field of both private and public ethic. At the general request of ethically connoted rules, to be meant as an indicative strategy of the action in a horizon of foreseeable risks, corresponds a much widespread awareness that a complex society must rest on the thesis of the Normal Accident, that is, of a normalization of the loss, both human and material. In fact: the normal loss, above all, means a normalization of human loss. The reappearance of the questions that have always followed mankind, now surprise the ethic spring of rules in a phase of disconcerting improbability. The great seasons of moral control of the rapidly increasing social complexity today (for instance Jesuitical casuistry), reintroducing the "moral" fluid medium, show a great weakness. The socio-structural insubstantiality of Ethic shows both the strength and the topicality of the anthropological change we are living, as well as the need to be furnished of instruments of analysis of the human that set aside the scantiness of old mechanical analogies. If the complex society applied only the 40% of the biblical motto "Don?t do onto others what you wouldn?t like to be done to you", this society (ours) couldn?t exist the way it is. Man is no longer the criterion of reference of human actions.

The wealth of aquatic resources was assumed to be an unlimited gift of nature. However, with increased knowledge and the dynamic development of fisheries after the Second World War, this myth has faded in face of the realization that aquatic resources, although renewable, are not infinite and need to be properly managed, if their contribution to the nutritional, economic and social well-being of the growing world?s population is to be sustained" (Fao Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries - Preface). Thus fishing has to be conducted in a responsible and sustainable manner because fish provides a vital source of food and, at the same time, fishing is closely connected to the environment because, if it is not properly practised can it cause irreparable damage. This work analyses the principle of precaution which was recognized as principle no. 15 in the Declaration of Rio on Environment and Development in 1992 and mentioned at the Conference on Biological Diversity. It represents one of the fundamental principles of the Fao Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and Common Fisheries Policy (Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002). States should apply a precautionary approach choosing the best measures and policy, taking into account the latest scientific evidence available. The aim is ?to protect and conserve living aquatic resources, to provide for their sustainable exploitation and to minimise the impact of fishing activities on marine eco-systems.? (article 2 Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002).

Having regard to the whole set of Polish legal tools for food safety, the reader?s attention was focused on civil-legal aspects of producer?s liability for harm caused by food product?s defect. The idea of the article, however, was not exclusively a detailed legal analysis of Polish legal solutions within this subject matter, but mainly an attempt to interpret these regulations which arouse most doubts in the Polish practice, especially from the point of view of their compliance with the Community regulations. The legal harmonization is undoubtedly of crucial importance in this sphere. It needs emphasizing that the majority of essential legal issues related to the subject matter of food safety as formulated in the Community law has been reflect119 ed in the Polish legislation. Currently this subject matter is regulated on the Polish legal area by the act of 25 August 2006 about the safety of food and feeding. It can be claimed, however, that the regulation of the liability for harm caused by unsafe product (comprising also the notions of agricultural produce and food product) in the Polish legislation complies with the requirements of the Community law. The shortcomings pointed out in the course of considerations absolutely do not allow to conclude that the objective of harmonization has not been achieved. This does not eliminate, however, the necessity to bring about changes postulated in the course of legislative considerations. In the Polish doctrine it is stressed that from theoretical, dogmatic point of view especially the new regime of liability for unsafe product (comprising agricultural produce and food product) should constitute a facilitation for claims to be made by the harmed person. It will, however, be the judicial practice which will decide about its legal efficiency.
