This comprehensive yet accessible book offers an in-depth overview
of the law relating to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It
explores both the initial objectives set out in the Treaty on the
Functioning of the EU, and also those policies that have emerged as
a result of the growth of competencies within the EU. Examining the
four regulations that currently govern the CAP in the areas of
direct payments, rural development, finance, and the common
organisation of the markets, the author considers their
interpretation in the case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU
and the General Court. Throughout this insightful book, the
European Commission's proposals for CAP reform are discussed and an
astute assessment of their National Strategic Plans concludes that
Member States would benefit from greater discretion in fine-tuning
the principles of the policy established at European level to the
particular characteristics of their national agricultural sector.
Students and scholars of European law and agricultural law more
specifically will find this book a structured and nuanced guide to
existing and future policy at both EU and WTO levels. Policy makers
and practitioners will also find its up to date treatment of the
law a valuable reference.
This volume covers an impressively wide ground of issues related to
(and originating from) the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, from
both a domestic and an international perspective. Legal, economic
and political matters are treated by top-class scholars. Each
individual chapter is worth reading, and collectively they
constitute a treasure chest of highly valuable insights into the
operation and deficits of the CAP.' - Stefan Tangermann, former
OECD Director for Trade and AgricultureFollowing the conclusion of
the latest round of reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
in 2013, the Research Handbook on EU Agriculture Law provides an
up-to-date discussion of these reforms and the changing landscape
in which the CAP now operates. Adopting an interdisciplinary
approach, and with international contributors from across Europe
and the United States, the Handbook commences with analyses of the
legal instruments which implement the reformed CAP, before moving
on to consider questions of land use, the role of agriculture
within the wider food chain and the international dimension. In
these contexts, particular issues identified include: the
environmental impact of past, present and future farming practices;
the ability of the food chain to accommodate consumer preferences
and scientific innovation; and the hurdles to be cleared before
international consensus can be reached on a whole range of
agricultural imperatives. As well as providing a state-of-the-art
point of reference for academics, this comprehensive book will be
of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers dealing
with these new challenges faced by agriculture in the EU.

Agriculture has been the unruly horse of the GATT/WTO system for a
long time and efforts to halter it are still ongoing. This Research
Handbook focuses on aspects of agricultural production and trade
policy that are recognized for their importance but are often kept
out of the limelight, such as the implication of national and
international agricultural production and trade policies on
national food security, global climate change, and biotechnology.
It provides a summary of the state of the WTO agriculture
negotiations as well as the relevant jurisprudence, but also, and
uniquely, it focuses on the new and emerging issues of agricultural
trade law and policy that are rarely addressed in the existing
literature. With contributions from a multi-disciplinary team of
leading analysts from around the world, this Research Handbook will
appeal to trade negotiators, international trade law and policy
academics as well as postgraduate students in the field.

The Treaty on European Union introduced specific objectives for the
Development Co-operation Policy of the Community. The inclusion of
Articles 130u--y marks an important stage in the emergence of the
Community's Development Co-operation Policy. It affords the
Community an opportunity to eliminate the inconsistencies of the
past which have arisen through the gradual and patchwork
development of that policy. It also affords the Community a
much-needed opportunity to adopt an integrated and coherent policy
which will promote the economic and social development of all
developing countries and their gradual integration into the world
economy and which should make a significant contribution to the
campaign against poverty in developing countries. The general scope
of the objectives set for the Development Co-operation Policy are
examined in Chapter One, which provides an overview of the
development of the general outline of that policy up to 1992.
Chapters Two to Five concentrate on the region-specific application
of the Community's Development Co-operation Policy by examining the
relationships established through the Lome Conventions with the
countries of Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, and through
other agreements with the countries of the Mediterranean, Latin
America and Asia. In each chapter, the focus of attention is the
trading relationship established with the Community. Chapter Six is
an examination of two problems of co-ordination; between the
Development of Co-operation Policy and other Community policies;
and between the Community Policy and those of the Member States.
The conclusion emerging from the discussion is that one very
important area of co-ordination was omitted from the provisions of
Articles u--y, namely the co-ordination of the instruments of
development co-operation themselves. The final chapter proposes a
new Development Co-operation Policy for the Community to meet new
objectives set by Articles 130u--y.
