Agriculture in Statutory Law . In the Statute of Autonomy of 1936, the Basque Country was responsible, in accordance with articles 1 and 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of 1931, for exclusive legislation and direct ution in matters of forestry, agriculture and livestock, agrarian policy and action, without prejudice to the legislative power that the State reserved for itself over the minimum bases insofar as they affected the defence of wealth and the coordination of the national economy (Title II, article 2). In the Preliminary Draft of the General Statute of the Basque State of Eusko Ikaskuntza (1931 ), the Basque State had the power to legislate, administer and judge in matters of industrial, commercial and agricultural regulation, chambers of commerce and agriculture (Title IV, article 15), creation and promotion of agricultural wealth. According to the Statute of Autonomy of 1979 , the Basque Country has full competence in matters of agriculture and livestock, in accordance with the general organisation of the economy (Title I, article 10. 9). Additionally, the Basque Country has exclusive competence in the agricultural chambers (Title I, article 10. 21). These precepts are found in the same terms in the Organic Law of Reintegration and Improvement of the Foral Regime of Navarre of 1982 (Title II, Chapter II, Article 50. 1. and Article 44. 24, respectively).
