Des objectifs pour l'agriculture européenne: le point de vue allemand

Stephan Tangermann

Économie rurale, 1984, vol. 163

Abstract: There is a long tradition of high price supports in German agricultural policy. The strong protection given to the farm sector is broadly accepted by most segments of society. Recently, farm incomes have significantly fallen in the FRG. Yet national expenditures for agriculture have decreased since the government wanted to reduce the federal budget deficit. Emphasis was more on income distribution within agriculture and on environmental aspects. The German government wishes that CAP reform does not bring about too strong a fall in farm incomes. At the same time, Germany has become very sensitive to its contributions to the EEC budget. This explains why the German government is very favourable to milk quotas. It also is the reason for opposing a reduction in the German positive MCAs. It may be, however, that the adoption of new green ECU linked to the Deutschmark, would only be an illusion.
