| | Common Agricultural Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | CAP reform has steadily lowered its share of the EU budget but it still accounts for nearly half EU expenditure. | | | The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a system of European Union agricultural subsidies which represents about 44% of the EU's budget (€43 billion scheduled spend for 2005 [1]). | | | As a significant proportion of the budget is currently spent on agriculture, and there is little prospect of the budget being increased, this would necessitate reducing CAP expenditure. |

| | The CAP was a cornerstone of the European Economic Community (EEC) created by the 1957 Treaty of Rome, which aimed to progressively create a common market and harmonize the economic policies of the member states. | | | Estimates of the CAP's total expense vary widely due to differences in the methods employed and movements in world food prices; one ballpark figure is that it costs each EU citizen about £250 a year. | | | The policy's financial cost has been very substantial. |

| | Common Agricultural Policy |
| | The CAP remains one of the most important EU policies, with agricultural expenditure accounting for half of the 90 billion euros allocated towards the annual budget of the European Community in 2002. | | | The policy, applied to most types of agricultural product, was evolved and introduced between 1962 and 1967, but was later amended to take account of changing conditions and the entry of additional member states. | | | At the heart of the CAP is a price support system based on setting a target price for a commodity, imposing a levy on cheaper imports, and intervening to buy produce at a predetermined level to maintain the stability of the internal market. |

| | The aim of the new CAP reform is to deepen and widen the 1992 reform by replacing price support measures with direct aid payments and accompanying this process by a consistent rural policy. | | | A simplified and comprehensive agricultural policy can now make it clear that the expenditure it involves is justified by the services which society at large expects farmers to provide. | | | The reform aims at stabilising agricultural expenditure over the period while staying more in keeping with actual levels of spending. |

| | In 2003, 46.38% of the budget was earmarked for agriculture (42.68 billion euros for the CAP and 4.7 billion for rural development), while for 2004 the figure is 42.7% (42.77 billion for the CAP and 6.5 billion for rural development). | | | Alongside the general CAP reform, the Commission presented several individual plans to update the rules governing aid for the main agricultural sectors. | | | Although Parliament has only a consultative role in agriculture policy, with the final say lying with the EU governments, Parliament's reports had a significant impact on the final shape of the reform, which will enter into force in stages in 2004 and 2005. |

| | The policy costs around £30bn a year - or half the EU's £60bn annual budget - and even the agreed reforms do not really reduce the cost. | | | France persuaded Germany to agree a deal, in October 2002, freezing the CAP budget from 2006 to 2013 (which amounts to a real-terms cut) while subsidies to new members are phased in, which then became EU policy. | | | Britain, meanwhile, receives a CAP rebate and there have been suggestions - mainly from France - that it should come under review. |

| | European Parliament Fact Sheets - 4.1.1. The Treaty of Rome and Green Europe |
| | In 1994 the Committee on Agriculture debated the proposal to reform the wine-growing sector, which Parliament considered very unpromising, since it over-extended the principle of subsidiarity and was unsupportive in attempting to co-finance structural measures from income when other already reformed sectors were receiving 100 % Community funding. | | | Parliament was very critical of the Commission's new proposal in 1997 for reform of the CAP in its document entitled 'Agenda 2000' and its subsequent proposals for regulations in spring 1998. | | | The CAP also makes use of the external trade policy (* 4.1.7) and legislative harmonisation (see below) and is supported by finance from a special fund (* 4.1.4), and by legal and institutional machinery (see below). |

| | There is, perhaps, a tension here with the UK government's stated objective of an agriculture that is 'socially responsive to the needs of local communities.' That is where rural development policy comes in, but it has taken a hit under the budget agreement. | | | The UK Government produced a good critique of the CAP as part of its efforts to secure further reform in the EU budget negotitations. | | | The EU budget deal does contain provision for a wide ranging review of the CAP in 2008/9, but no timetable for reform is built into it. |

| | One rationale is that local production of organic produce by families in their own gardens for their own consumption is not taxed or regulated, and that little or no use of the energy-and-land-intensive transport system, or energy-and-labor intensive regulation system is required for these same people to sell the same product to neighbors. | | | About forty-nine percent of this amount was accounted for by political measures: 37 billion euros due to direct payments and 43 billion euros from consumers due to the artificially high price. | | | The total value of agricultural production amounted to 128 billion euros (1998). |

| | An OECD report estimated that the cost of this protectionism ran at $53 billion for the EU, $33 billion for Japan and $32 billion for the USA. | | | This calculation takes place in the highest cost area of the EU, this means that the import tariff will more than protect the producers in areas with lower target prices. | | | Although we have seen a series of measures taken to try and reform the CAP, involving both price and output measures they have had relatively little impact. |

| | They are also concerned that the proposals will do little to cut the overall cost of the CAP, since the reductions in subsidy will be ploughed back into new payments for environmental improvement and rural development. | | | The fear of Britain's National Farmers' Union is that since British ministers are so keen to see changes to the overall policy, they will be prepared to accept measures which are against the interest of their own industry. | | | One is that the proposed enlargement of the EU to bring in former Communist countries of central and Eastern Europe becomes extremely difficult unless the system of farm subsidies is changed - the budget could not possibly afford to let these largely agricultural economies join on existing terms. |
