Erneute EU-Agrarreform: Umbau statt Abbau von Subventionen
Jörg-Volker Schrader
Abstract: The paper discusses the decisions on the reform of the CAP
from June 2003. The decisions focus on the decoupling of the direct
payments to farmers from production. This will reduce production incentives
and thereby improve the allocation of resources. However, payments to
farmers will hardly be reduced in total but rather partly be redirected
towards rural development policies, environmental policies and animal
health measures. Since a consistent rationale for permanent payments to
farmers is missing, payments should be stopped completely. The increase of
financial support for rural development is the wrong way, since most
measures, again, are interventions in favour of farmers.
