Since 1992, the European Union has embarked on a series of reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy which have strengthened the role of markets in the sector. Over the years, market intervention has been reduced, including in the most regulated sectors like sugar and dairy products.

With recent reforms, most broad-based payments to producers are channeled through a single payment with no link to current production, while funds dedicated to specific objectives such as land management, environmental quality or rural viability are increasing.

The OECD regularly monitors and evaluates CAP changes, as part of an annual report covering agricultural policy changes in OECD countries. Major reforms are also the subject of specific analysis – for example, the 2003 CAP reform. In the same vein, an ongoing project takes stock of progress made over the years in reforming the CAP.

OECD tools for monitoring policies, such as indicators of supports and policy evaluation models, that cover the whole of the EU will be used. Other sources of information and analysis need to be used to understand the impacts of the CAP at a more disaggregated level.

This workshop presented the results of recent studies, some undertaken as part of EU research projects, that specifically look at the disaggregated impacts of the CAP. Recent changes such as decoupling, modulation, dairy and sugar reforms were also considered.  The different sessions covered national, regional and farm level impacts  on commodity markets, land markets, the agro-food industry, farms structure and performance, the distribution of support and income, the environment and rural development.

Material from the workshop will enrich the final report on the evaluation of CAP reforms.
