First published in 1980. From the earliest beginnings of the
European Economic Community, it was recognised that a common market
for agriculture would be one of the basic prerequisites for
workable economic unity. And yet the Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP) remained a subject of much controversy and debate. The CAP,
more than any other element of European policy, was seen to test
the true depth of the commitment shown by Community members to the
practice as well as the principle of economic integration.
Agriculture and the European Community examines the reasons for the
existence of the CAP and its format. It outlines the main
instruments, price and structural policy, and the changing emphasis
between them. It discusses in turn the effects of the CAP on
producers' income levels and on consumer prices; how far it had
fulfilled the promises of the Treaty of Rome; the implications of
the policy for third country trade; and its place within the
Community as a whole. The study argues that, although incomes of
Community farmers had improved, this is not simply the result of
the CAP, nor was the geographical distribution of benefit in terms
of farming income satisfactory. The policy has achieved a degree of
success in securing food supplies and stabilising prices but the
cost to the consumer has been high. Knowledge of the CAP had become
almost essential to any understanding of modern European affairs.
Agriculture and the European Community will serve as a
straightforward introduction to the policy for students approaching
the subject for the first time, especially in departments of
Agricultural Economics, European Studies and Political Science.
