The early retirement pension scheme for farmers, envisaged in the Rural Development Areas Plan 2004-2006 (PROW), aimed at agricultural land concentration in viable economically farm and thus at counteracting the negative phenomena of fragmented agrarian structure in the Polish agriculture. The core of this scheme is offering farmers early retirement pensions in exchange of agricultural land release for agriculture structure improvement. The entitlements to early retirement pensions for farmers are provided with personal and object clauses. However, the legal regulations implementing the scheme in question were significantly liberalized in the PROW in comparison with the earlier ones. As a result of that persons loosely connected with agriculture could apply for the early retirement pensions thus bringing about low efficiency of its structural functions and low effectiveness of public funds spent for its implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing legal regulations. Persons without satisfactory period of participation in the social security scheme for farmers and not transferring agriculture land for purpose of agrarian structure improvement should have limited access to the pension scheme..

The paper contains an analysis of the evolution of the instrument of structural benefits in Poland, presents an assessment of the instrument's role in 2002-2007 and identifies factors that exert an influence on the farmers' interest in structural benefits. The analysis is based on the results of surveys conducted with the help of questionnaires by the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Food Economy - the State Research Institute (IERiGZ-PIB), which covered a sample of 3,705 family farms, and on the data collected by the Agency for the Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR) and by the Farmers' Social Insurance Fund (KRUS). For the purpose of evaluation of the role played by structural benefits the author has also examined relevant legal acts and national plans for the development of rural areas. Unlike the amount of financial means earmarked for structural benefits and unlike the so-called criteria of access for beneficiaries the principal goals of this agricultural policy instrument have not changed since the moment of its introduction. Following Poland's accession to the European Union the number of beneficiaries has grown considerably owing to the liberalization of legal regulations and increased budget. The analysis has revealed regional differences in the use of structural benefits by farmers.
