The Economics of Regulation in Agriculture: Compliance with Public and Private Standards

Primary agriculture in the developed economies is increasingly subject to environmental, human, plant and animal health and animal welfare regulations. Research in this volume was motivated by the use of cross compliance as a means of harmonizing enforcement of these types of regulations in th...

The Economics of Regulation in Agriculture: Compliance with Public and Private Standards
description Primary agriculture in the developed economies is increasingly subject to environmental, human, plant and animal health and animal welfare regulations. Research in this volume was motivated by the use of cross compliance as a means of harmonizing enforcement of these types of regulations in the EU. Cross compliance makes the receipt of farm support payments contingent on meeting regulatory standards. In general, compliance with regulation gives rise to increased costs at the farm level. A commonly expressed concern, by EU farmers but also by farmers in other jurisdictions, is that compliance with regulations has adverse effects on competitiveness and ultimately on farm business viability. As agriculture is increasingly integrated into global trade liberalization, differentials in national regulatory compliance costs, potentially, can have significant effects on trade flows. Comparisons of regulatory compliance costs, even comparison of regulatory standards, across jurisdictions, is complex. Different polities operating with differing constitutional allocations of authorities, can have different agencies or even levels of government being responsible for different categories of regulations and standards. It is not uncommon for the farming industry in any particular jurisdiction, in the face of these challenges, to perceive the standards that it is required to meet as higher than those which its competitors must achieve. This volume investigates the cost implications and competitiveness effects resulting from regulations and standards in the fields of environment, health and animal welfare and production-linked rules of „good agricultural conditions‟ for a range of agricultural products. The book is the product of an international collaboration among researchers from the EU, North America and New Zealand.
