Introducing a development policy perspective into CAP Strategic Plans

Alan Matthews

Economic Papers from Trinity College Dublin, Economics Department

Abstract: National CAP Strategic Plans have been proposed by the Commission as a key instrument in its legal proposal for the CAP post 2020 to shift EU agricultural policy to a more performance-based framework. Member States are required to draw up these plans using a transparent process and to involve as partners relevant public bodies, economic and social partners, and relevant bodies representing civil society. This paper discusses how national stakeholders might ensure that these CAP Plans deliver on commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, as well as take into account the interests of developing countries. It reviews the proposed framework for these Strategic Plans and identifies the most important elements that development interests should try to influence. The new approach will require significant organisation at the national level to ensure that the CAP post 2020 takes full account of the interests of developing countries.
