Needs of the Sector • Heavy dependence on public support • Growing volatility difficult to manage • - in prices and costs • - desease and weather related • Burden of regulation on farming sector • R&D needs • - to revive faltering productivity growth • - to reduce negative environmental impacts • NMS- to catch up • Diversity within and between MS extent of CAP help • Europe’s agriculture is unsustainable economically, but has good natural conditions to produce.
Targeted policy • Policy measure that targets specific outcomes, populations or areas. It requires: • - identification of target actions, • - target groups, • - target area. (OECD)
Implementing targeted payments • Contract with a farmer • Clearly defined objectives • Period of time (5-10 years) • Cannot be inherited • Effects measured (control) • Auctions can work under specific contitions • Not all farmers would receive payments • Transaction costs can be high.
Costs and benefits of target policy Targeted policy Broad based policy Transfer per hectare or per farm, per product May be simple/cheap Not adjusted. Overcompensationinfluences land prices. • Transfers to specific objectives • Significant implementation costs • Adjusted to costs

Targeting helps competitiveness if it affects: • Investment improving efficiency, income diversification, • Investment into human capital, • Investment into value added (processing, marketing), • Investment into cost reductions.

Targeting in 1 Pillar • 85% of SPS funds go to the 17% of farmers who have 80% of land (Agra Europe Weekly, 6 March 2009).- Capping- Modulation - Zoning instead of contracts? • Targeting 2 Pilar easier
Conclusions • Slow changes towards targeted instruments in the present CAP, particularly in RDP; • Not everybody will get support; • More efficient than present instruments • Keeps land prices lower; • Difficult and costly to implement.
