Common Agricultural Policy

Meaning of Common Agricultural Policy

In the context of Europe, and according to A Dictionary of Law, the following is a definition of Common Agricultural Policy : (Common Agricultural Policy, CAP)

The agricultural policy of the EU as set out in Articles 32-38 of the Treaty of Rome. The overall aims of the CAP are to increase agricultural productivity, ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, stabilize markets, assure the availability of supplies, and ensure that supplies reach consumers at a reasonable price. The Treaty is supplemented by a wide range of EU directives in this field.

Common Agricultural Policy in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, common agricultural policy is: CAP. The European Community’s comprehensive system of production targets and marketing mechanisms designed to manage agricultural trade within the Community and with the rest of the world. The mechanism for financing the CAP is the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. The CAP’s stated aim is to encourage stable agricultural market conditions, a fair standard of living for farmers, reasonable prices for consumers, increased agricultural yields and better labour productivity. The entries on trade policy are here. Its implementation was always difficult because of the attempt to mix social and economic policies. The CAP succeeded spectacularly in increasing yields and returns for many farmers, but it led to widespread disruption of global markets because the increased output, produced at high cost, could only be exported with the aid of massive export subsidies. The entries on trade policy are here. It did little to stem the trend towards amalgamation of smaller farms. The CAP also led to high consumer prices in the EEC for agricultural products and has contributed to fiscal deficits there. See also Agenda 2000.[1]
