Assessment of Agenda 2000 in the Agricultural Sector

Tutkimus 01-03-2002

This working paper was prepared in order to review the implementation of the Agenda 2000 agreement as it affects four major market regimes (cereals, oilseeds and protein crops, beef, milk and milk products and wine) under the Common Agricultural Policy. The review provides a preliminary assessment of the impact of Agenda 2000 to date and possible further changes. The work was conducted during the period May–October 2001 by means of desk research, selected interviews and by using Promar CEAS International’s Common Agricultural Policy Analysis (CAPA) model to estimate the possible effects of arable sector changes.
