Synopsis:

This book offers a comparative analysis of the public debate on the reform of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in ten EU Member States. The CAP has already undergone several reform processes. It has moved away from price support mechanisms to a system of direct payments, complemented by rural development policies in the so-called second pillar. However, it is becoming evident in the public debate on the reform of the CAP, different stakeholder groups take divergent views on what the objectives of a European agricultural policy should be and what instruments should be applied in order to meet these objectives. Based on country reports prepared by local experts, the statements of stakeholder groups (such as governments, farmers' unions, scientists, or environmental non-governmental organizations) on the reform proposals of the European Commission are analyzed. This analysis formed the basis for discussion at an international conference in 2012, the results of which are also presented. Important conclusions are that there is a clear need to develop a long-term strategy for the CAP and to reconsider the function of direct payments.
