Abstract: The various countries try to provide the food security by means of agricultural policies for their peoples. The followed policies vary depending upon the level of economic development and the resources the states owned. The study focuses on the common agricultural policies of the European Union (EU), how they be formulated, the aimed and reached targets, the comprehension of the backbone of these policies, and the different proposals offered for the farmers of the EU. In addition, the ways of arriving the sustainable development and food, the achievements of these policies and their specific signs as well as the reflections of the most important demographic factors for the regional developments, and the gains of the EU in respect of the common agricultural policies have been elaborated in this study. Because the agricultural sectors have a vitally important strategical parameter for all states, these policies have been supported by different perspectives. Despite the fact that the common agricultural policies (CAP) have been reformed many times, the nearly half of the common budget has been expended for the sake of this sector. The CAP expenditures of the EU have been financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund established in 1962 and this fund has been replaced by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for the Rural Development in 2007 and financed from the general budget of the EU. The most important recommendations put forwarded in this article is to deepen the primary role of the EU in this policy in accordance and proportional with the needs and provide the preservation of the rural areas and keep the quality and the quantity of the agricultural products within the high level. The agricultural sector must be transformed into the backbone of the CAP with its vital, sustainable, competitive and economic character.
