| The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) adopted on 21 May 1992, to be implemented by 1996, anticipates some essential features of the 1994 Uruguay GATT Agreement to be implemented between 1995 and 2000. Together these two events will change substantially, and sometimes reverse, the past trends in the EU agricultural policy, and generate unprecedented changes in production, trade, as well as in producers and consumers welfare, creating conditions for a more timely structural adjustment. This paper will first outline the new scenario of agricultural policy in the EU in order to better devise its likely impact on the economy, namely on income distribution, on resource allocation and on the natural and social environment. A third part of the... |

| Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy has entailed the substitution of new income support instruments for the former price based instruments, mainly in the cash crop sector. Our first point is that the domestic political balance was unable to generate such a large change in policy design, in spite of inefficiencies and inbalances. The pressure of the US has been a major factor in the design of the reform. We argue that trade interests have been crucial to catalyze international collective action in order to countervail domestic pressure groups. The pursuit of an agreement in the GATT is therefore a means to place a cap on the CAP and foster some reform and control over sectors such as sugar and dairy in other countries. We do not foresee the... |

| The final objective of government intervention is the attainment of the 'common good' for society as a whole. Government are supposed to intervene in market economies mainly in order to offset market failures. However governments themselves often fail to maximise the common good, especially when private interests prevail. In the decision-making process of the CAP agricultural lobbies play a predominant role, without any substantial counterpart lobbying to defend the interest of society as a whole. Although, according to common sense, food surpluses and related budgetary costs (export subsidies, food storage, etc.) would disappear if public price support were dismantled, this elementary solution to the most important problems raised by the CAP was never... |
