Agricultural Products School Programme Act (LwErzgSchulproG).

The purpose of the present Act is to transpose, inter alia, the Regulation (EU) No. 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products into German legislation.
