Why a European Agricultural Insurance Scheme is Not a Good Solution

Abstract: type="graphical">

Would a European agricultural insurance scheme make sense today? My answer is not really. Even if we believe that weather-related incidents will be even more likely as a consequence of climate change, representing a significant European challenge, in my view a decentralised approach to insurance is more suited to European agricultural diversities. In addition, an EU scheme would be expensive, financed through the budget discipline, resulting in a significant cut in direct payments.
