First pillar of the CAP: I — Common organisation of the markets (CMO) in agricultural products
EU Fact Sheets 01-06-2017
The CMO is the framework for the market measures provided for under the CAP. Following a series of reforms, 21 separate CMOs were codified into a single CMO, covering all agricultural products, in 2007. Reforms to the CAP have, in addition, gradually made the policy more market-oriented and scaled down the role of intervention tools, which are now regarded as safety nets to be used only in the event of a crisis.
Financing of the CAP
EU Fact Sheets 01-06-2017
For many years the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was financed from a single fund, the EAGGF (European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund), which on 1 January 2007 was replaced by the EAGF and the EAFRD.
