The conditions in the Protectorate, as part of the Great German Empire, make it necessary to create conditions for an effective organization of soil policy, which enable all administrative measures related to land and land to be transferred to a German special service. These efforts have been in progress since the establishment of the Protectorate, but they have not, up to now, led to the aim of creating an independent land office independent of the autonomous government. The following statements are intended to serve to explain the necessity of the sheep of an independent ground office as a special German official. The IX. Section of the Ministry of Agriculture - (hereinafter referred to as the Land Office), which took over the duties of the then independent Land Office in 1935, was placed in May 1939 by order of the Reichsprotector under German commissary direction. The presiding committee did not begin its work as a newly established German department with a clear and open political orientation, but only assumed the leadership of an existing extensive Czech authority apparats. The Commission's activities were therefore determined by the extensive and difficult-to-observable Czech land reform legislation of the land reform introduced in 1991 and which has not yet been implemented.
