ESTABLISHMENT
after World War II - part of the Treaty of Rome
(signed in 1957, came into force in 1958)
1962: went into effect – 4 BASIC PRINCIPLES:
A unified market for the free movement of agricultural products in the European Union
Financial solidarity
Community preference
Parity and productivity

CAP REFORMS OVER TIME
Introduction of milk quotas in 1984
Mac Sharry reform in 1992
The Agenda “2000”
The 2003 reform
CAP “Health Check” 2008

MILK PRODUCTION & CONSUMPTION BEFORE THE
QUOTAS
![Page 10: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SITUATION BEFORE THE MILK QUOTAS
EU was exporter of diary products
Subsidization of diary farmers (per produced output) motivated farmers to produce more.
Overproduction led to export subsidies and consequently to dumping.
Results:
Producer surplus= a+b+c
Consumer surplus= -(a+b)
Gov. Revenue = -(b+c+d+f+g+h)
+ High storage costs (not depicted)
Export subsidy case

INTRODUCTION OF MILK QUOTAS IN 1984
Total guaranteed quantity: the quota of each country
The references quantities: the producers’ and/or purchasers’ quotas
The milk tax: Taxes if producers exceed their reference quota - (superlevy)
![Page 12: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE
End of overproduction of diary products
Reduction of the production from 103.7 million tons in 1984 to 96 million tons in 1992
Thus decrease in EU diary export as result of abolishment of large production subsidies (=export subsidies)
Side-effect – higher import of cows for beef (especially from Brazil)
Decrease in storage costs
![Page 13: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MAC SHARRY REFORM IN 1992
Pressures from other agricultural exporting countries
From price support to income support
The beginning of direct payments
compensation for the decrease of the price support
New subsidies to farmers for good environmental practices
„Set-aside land“
![Page 14: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
EXPORT SUBSIDIES
![Page 15: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Lower export subsidies
Higher direct payments
![Page 16: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE
EU prices closer to world prices
International agricultural trade liberalization
Fall in cereal prices by 50%
Fall in income of African countries, which were making profits on selling goods to Europe (under Lomé convention)
An increase in the export price competitiveness of basic EU food and agricultural exports for African countries
![Page 17: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FURTHER REFORMS
The Agenda 2000
“multi-functionality” of farming activities
The reform in 2003
A reduction in direct payments for bigger farms to finance the new rural development policy
CAP “Health Check“ 2008
Increase of milk quotas, ...

„CAP VS. AFRICA“ CASE
African exporters seem to be sensitive to EU reforms
Pros and cons of CAP reforms (from African point of view)
Future prospects
![Page 19: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PROS AND CONS
+ Large food surpluses exported
to Africa as a food aid (before Mac Sharry)
Certain African (sugar) exporters profited from Lomé convention (€500 mil. in 99/2000)
— 2001: free access to the market
granted to the least developed countries under „Everything Buts Arms“ initiative.
Problem? – sugar, rice and bananas excluded
After Mac Sharry reform, EU price reductions drove some African exporters out of the EU market
Undermining of African markets by price-competitive EU goods (wheat) – „markets of last resort“
EU policy emphasis shift – „from quantity to quality“

FUTURE PROSPECT
African exporters:
lower value food and agricultural products distributors
European exporters:
higher value food and agricultural products
![Page 23: Impact on International Trade 29th November 2009 European Economic Integration, Institute of economic studies T HE C OMMON A GRICULTURAL P OLICY.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513e31e55034646298b59a1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CONCLUSION
Trend in reforms of CAP – lower direct payments
Decoupling:
↑ economic prosperity
↓ negative impacts on the environment
From import levy to direct subsidies – before and after Mac Sharry reform
Africa has to trade with lower value food
