Summary/Abstract: The objectives of the common agricultural policy for the years 2014–2020 changed the concept of creation and functioning of fruit and vegetable producer organizations. The European legislator has abolished the special arrangement, namely the authorization for participation in market mechanisms which was granted to preliminary recognized producer organizations. By adapting the rules to new European principles, Member States introduced changes in the relevant national laws. Procedure of reorganization through imprecisely formulated regulations (especially inter temporal ones) has led to serious doubts concerning interpretation and to discrepancy in the assessment of factual and legal states undertaken by agricultural administration. Adjustment challenges were especially evident in a situation where preliminary recognized producer organizations have unlawfully achieved their status, have not complied with recognition and cannot acquire the status of a recognized producer organization. According to parties involved, the consequences of a change in organizations’ legal status and financial aspects arising there from, remain disputable.
