ABSTRACT

Originally published in 1981, at a time when the EEC’s Common Agricultural Policy had remained largely unchanged, this book examines the criticisms of the CAP and analyses the pressures emanating from the budget and the various options which were available for tackling them. It then outlines the approaches that individual member states and others were likely to adopt, and assesses whether the need for action on the budget will be used as an opportunity to revise the CAP.
