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.
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.

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 Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 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. Contents: Agricultural Markets in Central and Eastern Europe - The CAP of 1992 - The Agenda 2000 policies - Quotas and direct payments - Land retirement - Welfare effects for producers and consumers.

Download or read book European Food Regulation after Enlargement written by Karolina Żurek and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical legal perspective on the current direction of EU food regulation. Analysing three regulatory mechanisms - mutual recognition, scientific risk regulation and standardisation - in the evolution of food legislation in the EU, the book shows the inadequacy of the current framework in facing the challenges of enlargement. Using the particular experience of a new member state, Poland, the book argues that an enlarged Europe must not disregard diverse socio-economic implications of market regulation. Due to historical legacies and a bias in favour of homogeneity, the EU food regulatory regime has generated a one-dimensional crisis-oriented approach. As a result, it tends to overlook other legitimate concerns such as quality, diversity and local traditions. This book argues that this need not be so.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate on agricultural policy in the EU has been very lively and politically prominent over the past months. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU has undergone major changes since it was first implemented at the end of the 1960s. Commentators suggest that the CAP changes made in the Agenda 2000 reform package were insufficient to address the problems facing the CAP in the coming years. These include enlargement, new trade negotiations and the demand by European society for a safe, sustainable agri-food system, to name but a few. This report highlights the most pressing challenges to creating a sustainable CAP for the 21st century. It focuses on strategic policy options that are closely linked to the CAP system to be "hands on"; but the report refrains from becoming too specific on policy details, focusing instead on the important strategic questions. It offers six recommendations for good governance, that aim to remove bureaucratic constraints from the food industry, yet strengthen consistency and good practice.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: This volume analyzes key issues of the process of integrating Central and Eastern European countries with the European Union related to agriculture. The issues include the comparative advantage of CEEC agriculture and its development under various accession policy scenarios; the likely policy developments in both the CEECs and the EU, based on economic, social and political economy considerations; the expected economic impacts and adjustment costs for the agro-food sector under various policy outcomes; the most important constraints for integration including policy convergence issues and internal constraints; and how integration will potentially affect trade and labour flows in the Union. The country combines detailed country-specific and region-wide empirical and theoretical analysis.
