18 Historical facts to understand the current agricultural policy of the EU (1): a long history of supporting farmers (first sources from 1870) especially after 1. World War (in preparation of 2. World War) with a lot of maesures of protectionism and for significant increase of production after 2. World War agreement on a common development of agriculture in Western Europe Foundation of European Community (EG) with the Common European Agricultural Policy (CAP) most importand objective: significant increase of production to achieve self-sufficiency half of the total EU-budget for agriculture

19 Historical facts to understand the current agricultural policy of the EU (2): in 1970s: self-sufficiency was achieved actual that was the time to reduce the support of farmers considerable resistance to the farmers against the governments farmers were an important electoral force at that time governments didn`t want to risk their power furthermore half of the total EU-budget for agriculture consequenses: significant overproduction with storages and destruction of foodstuffs on a large scale

20 Historical facts to understand the current agricultural policy of the EU (3): beginning of exports of excess production espec. to developing countries to take the pressure off the domestic market consequenses: destruction of the existence of millions of farmers espec. in developing countries, because their products didn`t have a chance against the heavily subsidised agricultural goods from Europe a very important fact in the current discussion about the refugees The EU agricultural policy has major consequences for the farmers all over the world, espec. in the poor contries. Over 800 million people are suffering from hunger globally while a further 1.9 billion people are classified as overweight or obese. environmental and animal welfare problems

21 Major structural changes in the agricultural policy of the EU: 1990s: rearranging of the directly payments from product-related to production-related Implementation of a second area of payments (so called 2. pillar) for special achivements for environment, animal welfare and rural development
