“…This is the case for example for fruit and vegetables with an almost systematic application of calendar restrictions on exports to the EU. In general, EU tariff preferences for many fruits and vegetables are granted on the basis of preferential quotas defined each month, including reference prices and negotiations on the possibility of carrying over the quotas from one month to the next (Emlinger et al, 2010).…”

Measures that are more specific complete the picture targeting specific support for certain products, production methods, or specific local conditions. Among others, some target Organic Farming (OF), young farmers, or specific investments. Other measures provide aid to farmers in less-favoured areas or aid to compensate for the additional costs of adopting more environmentally friendly practices. • The CAP and the economyThe 1992 reform of the CAP was initially a response to an external constraint to allow the successful conclusion of the multilateral agricultural negotiations of the 1994 Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, also known as GATT, and the compatibility of the future CAP with this agreement . The path taken at that time (that is, the decoupling of the agricultural income support policy) is the same that is followed today, even though the global context has changed markedly, with the rise of new agricultural export (Argentina, Brazil) and import (China) players; the failure of the multilateral negotiations of the Doha Round at the World Trade Organization (WTO); 4 the multiplication of bilateral trade agreements; and more recently, the unilateral setting of customs duties by certain countries in a climate of (at least latent) trade warfare. For completeness, it should also be noted that the European agricultural sector is facing new and significant economic challenges that it is struggling to meet: first, fluctuations in agricultural prices and incomes in an EU that is less protected by customs duties today than it was previously (even if these remain significant for several products and non-tariff protection still exists); and second, difficulties in creating value in the context of a saturated domestic food market and in distributing the value created in a balanced way between the different actors of the production, processing, and distribution chains.The economic aspects of the CAP and European agriculture are the subject of the first part of this book. Following a brief history of the CAP from its origins to the present day in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 deals with the question of the dependence of farm incomes on CAP support, and Chapter 3 examines agricultural employment dynamics. Chapter 4 covers trade aspects and the competitiveness of European agriculture on the international scene. Chapter 5 examines the distribution of value, and Chapter 6 discusses the crisis and risk management instruments.

“…Following successful negotiations between Morocco and the EU in 2003, it was decided to apply a general framework of tariff contingency to tomatoes imported from Morocco for the period running from October to April, with a preferential entry price of €46.1/ton and an ad valorem duty of 0%. Above this contingency, Most Favoured Nation status is applied (Goetz and Grethe, 2009;Emlinger et al, 2010).…”

“…More recently an evaluation report on the EPS casted doubt on previous results, showing that for some F&V products covered by the import regime the import growth rate did not differ from that not covered by the EPS (Agrosynergie, 2008). Emlinger et al (2010) focused attention on Mediterranean countries showing their significant preferences compared to other countries exporting to the EU. Goetz and Grethe (2009) by mean of a multivariate statistic analysis approach showed that the relevance of the EPS is not homogeneous among different products and origins, being wider for more perishable products and for neighbouring partner countries.…”
