| Tóm tắt: | Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1989 there have been substantial changes to
the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) and in the ways in
which it is implemented. Most notable of these was the adoption in 1992 of the
`MacSharry' reforms that cut institutional support prices for some major agricultural
commodities and compensated farmers by forms of direct payment. Both the cuts and the
introduction of direct payments would have been assumed to be politically unacceptable
only a few years previously. Reform was carried further in the direction of reduced market
intervention and greater emphasis on direct payments by the Agenda 2000 package, agreed
in 1999, which also confirmed rural development as a 'second pillar' of the CAP. The
Mid-Term Review of 2003 transformed direct payments from 2005 onwards into the
(relatively) decoupled Single Payment Scheme. This reorientation to a more explicit and
transparent means of farm support has awakened interest in the distribution of benefit
under the CAP and in the overall income situation and living conditions of those who
receive direct payments. Questions are being raised about who are the intended target
group for agricultural support spending; who constitutes the 'agricultural community' for
which the CAP attempts to ensure a 'fair standard of living'; and how effective is public
spending at reaching them? |
