The Development Interest in Reform of the European Union’s Common Agricultural PolicyOctober 30, 2007

This paper is intended to provide background on the developing country interests in further CAP reform. It has three simple messages: the CAP is not a static policy and has undergone considerable evolution and reform in the past 15 years; developing countries are heterogeneous, and not all countries will be affected in the same way; and all countries have an interest in open agricultural markets undistorted by government intervention and that further CAP reform is an important step in that direction.
