PAC: de nouveaux défis à relever

Abstract: This book chapter presents the main steps that have structured the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Based on three main principles (the market unicity, the community preference and the financial solidarity), this policy has promoted the modernization of farms and the expansion of production. It has also satisfied the consumer expectations (abundant food, varied products and reasonably priced food). For internal reasons (budgetary expenditure control, societal expectations related to the environment, biodiversity and animal welfare) and external (agricultural agreement signed within the framework of multilateral negotiations), the CAP has already been reformed in 1992, 1999, 2003 and 2008. The European Commission proposed in November 2010 some new rules for the CAP post 2014: the next CAP has to be compatible with the EU strategy called "Europe 2020". The challenge is to better target direct subsidies on non-market services provided by farmers and to propose new regulatory instruments (including income insurance).
