Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CAP has traditionally been at the core of the European Communities and even now consumes half of the European Union's budget. This book emphasizes the long-term link between the CAP and the budget. It examines the aims of the Common Agricultural Policy as set out in the Treaty of Rome and discusses to what extent they have been achieved and whether they are relevant to the 21st century. The factors that have shaped the 1992 and 1999 CAP reforms are outlined, with the latter, in particular, demonstrating the budget's effect on CAP and CAP reforms. The internationalization of CAP with constraints being placed on it by the World Trade Organization is another important factor covered by the book. The 1999 reforms are measured against what may be allowed by the WTO and the demands of EU enlargement.

Download or read book European Agriculture written by Frank Fuller and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth look at Europe's changing agricultural and food markets, focusing on the impacts of recent policy reforms, enlargement of the European Union (EU), and trade liberalisation. The papers included in this book braid together four important themes in European agriculture and food markets: the impacts of EU enlargement on productivity growth and catching up in the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), the influence of food quality standards on market structures in the CEECs and on trade, the impacts of common agricultural policy (CAP) reforms on EU and world markets, and the costs of adjusting to CAP reforms in specific sectors. The insights provided in these papers into the empirical interactions between policies, institutions, and market outcomes, both domestically and internationally, are valuable to policy makers and researchers interested in the future of European agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of research and exchange activities within the European Network of Agricultural and Rural Policy Research Institutes (ENARPRI). It synthesizes various analyses related to EU agricultural policies, trade agreements, and the issue of multifunctionality. The book focuses on the impact of regional, bilateral, and multilateral trade agreements that the EU has concluded or is in the process of negotiating, as well as on the interaction between EU policies and trade agreements, in the context of multifunctionality and sustainable development. Most of the trade agreements examined are extremely complex and impact not only efficiency and growth, but also income and welfare distribution within the EU. Special attention is given to the effects of possible WTO negotiation outcomes on the EU and third countries, as well as on the impact of the EuroMed trade proposals and agreements on trade flows and economic development of the EU's trading partners in the Mediterranean.

This book was released on 2000-10-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the conclusion of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture in 1994, agriculture has for the first time been integrated into world trade rules and disciplines. WTO Members have made a commitment to continue the reform process initiated during the Uruguay Round by starting new WTO negotiations on agriculture by 2000. This book combines academic analysis with practical expertise to discuss, in an accessible and systematic way, some of the principal aspects of these agricultural negotiations, and aims to make recommendations for viable and successful negotiating positions in the new WTO talks on agricultural trade. Several expert articles outline the historical and political background of previous negotiations and policy developments in agricultural trade. Others provide an overview of the key issues for the new round of negotiations, including: the Common Agricultural Policy reform in view of the Millennium Round objectives and future enlargement of the European Union; the prospects for negotiations in the areas of market access and export subsidies; and aspects of primary importance for the future of international agricultural trade such as food safety and quality standards, environmental and animal welfare considerations, and issues under dispute in the WTO. The positions of leading actors in the new round of negotiations, including major countries (Japan and the United States), groups of countries (the European Union, the Cairns Group and net food-importing countries) and European farmers are also presented.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture plays a larger role in the economies of the new Member states of the EU than it does in EU-15. There have thus been fears of the market being flooded by cheap agricultural exports and controversy about the extension of CAP payments. This report, therefore, looks at the impact of enlargement on agriculture both in the new Member states and in the UK. It concludes that structural fragmentation and the lack of capital investment mean that the new Member states are not in a position to undermine EU agricultural markets. However there are concerns about the quality of inspection and food quality. For the UK the Committee think that enlargement is more of a challenge than a threat, especially if the government does more to help promote UK food exports and investments.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 50 years, a key EU objective has been to eliminate trade barriers between the EU Member States and to create a single market where goods, people, money and services can move freely. By creating a single market without borders and a single currency (the Euro), the EU has given a significant boost to internal trade and employment. Many farmers in the candidate countries have already benefited from membership ahead of enlargement. Targeted EU-funded rural development and investment schemes are in place in these countries, and the progressive liberalisation of trade in agricultural products with the EU has helped farmers to prepare for operating and competing within the enlarged market. Economic operators in the EU and the enlargement countries have gained from open borders and easier trading conditions. Turkey and the western Balkans increased exports of basic agricultural products and processed agricultural products to the EU under preferential trade provisions -- EU Bookshop.

Download or read book Effects of EU Enlargement to the Central European Countries on Agricultural Markets written by Wolfgang Münch and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2002 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accession of the Central and Eastern European Countries is one of the biggest political projects for the European Union. As in all previous enlargements the agricultural chapter proves to be one of the most sensitive fields of the negotiations. This book examines the effects of enlargement on agricultural markets and government expenditure in the candidate countries as well as possible effects of different choices in the politically sensitive areas of direct payments and production quotas. The ten candidate countries have quite diverse economic and agricultural characteristics. Membership in the European Union, therefore, leads to varying macroeconomic effects. Two chapters specifically deal with these aspects and their effects on agriculture as well as likely country-specific developments in Hungary and in Slovenia. The quantitative tools developed and used for this analysis have also been more widely used by governments and institutions in analyses of questions related to enlargement. The book describes and documents these quantitative tools.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 7.9 / 10, University of Applied Sciences Groningen (Economics), course: European Buisness Enviroment, language: English, abstract: This report will describes the influence of the enlargement of the EU on the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ). I have chosen this topic, because it is most important, due to the huge influence of the CAP on the EU`S financial budget. Also the future for the CAP is very uncertain and this will have a large impact on the European farmers. For the successful completion of this work I had to understand why there is an CAP and how it works, so that I could think about the future of it. First I gave a short look on history, this is very important to understand the CAP. I considered that having a short look on how the CAP works would be a very important step to analyse the impact of the Enlargement. After having analyzed how the CAP works I had an closer look on the costs of the CAP and discussed the advantages and disadvantages. Then I am giving some facts and figures about the wheat industry and in conclusion to that I had a closer look on eastern Europe on the example of Poland. Furthermore I analyzed the impact of the enlargement on the Wheat industry The last part of the report is a short conclusion about this topic.

Download or read book Romanian Agriculture and Transition Toward the EU written by Kenneth J. Thomson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the ten Central and Eastern European countries that have applied for membership in the European Union, Romania ranks among the largest and most impoverished. Romania represents the final challenge in the European Union's enlargement to the east, largely due to its major, but underdeveloped, agriculture and food sectors. The agriculture industry, which is a major component of the national economy, extends its pervasive influence to both Romanian social life and environment. Consequently, the transition towards a market oriented economic system will pose new obstacles for the country's farmers, processors, traders, and policymakers. While identifying the impediments that surround Romanian agriculture and its inevitable progression towards transition is a simple task, the challenges lie in recommending solutions. Through careful analysis of numerous recent studies on reform policies in the Romanian agri-food sector during its economic transition, this comprehensive examination offers perspicacious suggestions and insights on the following topics in particular: international trade, credit for agricultural development, price policies, and rural development. The conclusions reached are not only of domestic importance and application, they are also of immediate relevance for many post-socialist countries, for which the agri-food sector is a principal vehicle for rural development.
