The Process and Consequence of 2013 CAP Reform

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to grasp and evaluate the process and consequence of the 2013 CAP Reform, through which prediction of the future of the CAP reforms can be based. First, we presents a survey of the history of CAP Reform since 1992 and identify its basic direction. We find that it is on a trajectory of market-oriented policy, by deepening decoupled payment and shifting budget of pillar 1 to pillar 2. Second, we compare and examine the original plan of the 2013 CAP Reform versus the final plan. The point of the reform is greening, which means strengthening the agro-environmental scheme of pillar 1 rather than pillar 2 in order to maintain direct payment whose origin was as compensation payments when the 1992 Mcsharry Reform introduced. It will take much time to dissolve the difference of payment level among member states. According to the final plan, the budget share of recoupled payment increases and redistributive payment is established. We may be able to say that the 2013 CAP Reform has an option to boost small and medium farmers, especially family farming. Finally we observe the trends of policy implementation of UK and France. The former is planning to improve and enhance agro-environmental scheme more than ever. The latter will introduce redistributive payment to protect livestock farming and hilly and mountainous areas. Renationalisation of CAP will be bolstered by this reform.
