 Agriculture Policy: What Roles for the EU and the Member States?Chapter 12 in Subsidiarity and Economic Reform in Europe, 2008, pp 191-218 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Agricultural Policy has been a core element of the European Economic Community since its early beginnings (Tracy 1989, 1997). The assessment of the role for the European Union (EU) and the Member States in agricultural policy in this chapter is based on the principle of subsidiarity as defined in Ederveen et al. (2008). The Treaty of the European Community (1997) states that “the Community shall take action, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity” only for “areas which do not fall within its [the Community’s] exclusive competence” (Art. 5, par. 2). This chapter, however, goes beyond this definition and reviews the role of the EU and the Member States in agricultural policy design and funding independently from the criterion of whether they fall under exclusive responsibility of the EU, such as large parts of agricultural policy in the EU. The basis for the assessment of the role of the EU and the Member States is the functional test for subsidiarity developed in Ederveen et al. (2008).
