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
Thüringer Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft (TLL) Jena –
Dr. Frank Augsten – 17. Mai 2017 www.thueringen.de/th9/tll
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
Thüringer Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft (TLL) Jena –
Dr. Frank Augsten – 17. Mai 2017 www.thueringen.de/th9/tll
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.
