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? 2014-04-24T02:25:47Z 2014-04-24T02:25:47Z 2012 Book 978 1 84593 847 5 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/37116 en application/pdf CABI
