The prospects for reforming EU agricultural policies
Author: German Marshall Fund
Wed, Dec 2, 2008
Agriculture has returned to the top of the European policy agenda. The global rise in food prices has pushed the EU to suspend some agricultural tariffs, and the ongoing "health check" of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has begun the process of scrutinizing the EU farm subsidy regime, a process that will continue under the review of the European budget. The Doha Round of trade negotiations may have stalled for now, but pressure to reform European agricultural policies may be generated by these negotiations in the future. On November 13, the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) invited long-time observer and commentator on EU agriculture policy, Roger Waite, the editor of AGRA FACTS and AGRA FOCUS and a fellow with GMF, to lead a discussion of how various reform strategies could resonate with politicians and the public and likely developments in EU agricultural policy in the future.
