Summary/Abstract: In the author’s opinion, the EU law excludes the possibility for a Member State, in times of an epidemic crisis, to adopt rules establishing tax preferences for national agri-food products. It would also be in conflict with EU law to oblige sales networks to order the sourcing of some part of agri-food products from local producers. However, there are no contraindications in the EU law preventing the establishment of the Polish Food Distribution Agency.
