‘Fortress Europe’ in long-term perspective: agricultural protection in the European Community, 1957-2003

No 11035, Working Papers from Economic History Society

Abstract: "Since its inception, the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been discussed controversially. Based on data compiled by the OECD and the World Bank which have so far not been used for historical research, we show that the protectionist effects of the CAP between the 1960s and the 1980s were larger than those of its national predecessors. Moreover, there is evidence that already the piecemeal re- forms of the 1980s reduced the level of protection and support in the EU, that is prior to the MacSharry reform of 1992."
