Common Agricultural Policy and the Future of French Farming
By: J. Gunnar Trumbull, Vincent Marie Dessain and Elena Corsi
Abstract
Presents the history and evolution of the EU Common Agricultural Policy, from early price supports to the 2003 decision to "decouple" payments to European farmers. Explores the logic behind agricultural supports, with a focus on the economic, political, and cultural context of French farming. Discusses efforts to reform the CAP in the context of the Doha Round of WTO negotiations against the backdrop of European enlargement.
