Pomme de terre et légumes

Économie rurale, 1978, vol. 123

Abstract: In order to estimate the consequences on the horticultural sector of Greece, Spain and Portugal being admitted to the EEC, one must evaluate how self-sufficient the Nine and the three countries concerned have been over the past 3 years. They are self-sufficient with regard to horticulture except for tomatoes. If the three countries join they will be able to use their surplus production of tomatoes by satisfying demand within the EEC. But there are some misgivings. The horticultural products produced at present by the Nine can be replaced very easily by those of the Mediterranean countries where production and marketing costs are lower than those of the Community. The regions of the EEC where the horticultural sector is a pillar of the agricultural economy will suffer in consequence. Production potential is great in Italy. If Greece, Spain and Portugal join the EEC will they not take the place of regions in Southern Italy that are economically and socially underprivileged ?
