First reading of the European Parliament 2007
Title 05 — Agriculture and rural development
Overall objectives
The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.
The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the sugar reform at the end of 2005. The key aim of these reforms, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.
2007 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms, of implementation of the Council decisions on the rural development framework 2007 to 2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of the enlargement to Romania and Bulgaria.
