“…296-302). A recent survey article (Demekas, et al, 1988) supports the general conclusion that the CAP has been costly to the EC, particularly to the consumers and the taxpayers, involving large transfers to EC farmers. However, consumers in developing countries have benefited.…”

Agricultural trade impasses have again frustrated the GATT process. Interest in preferential/regional trading blocs is increasing. the paper probes the theoretical and empirical consequences of preferential arrangements instead of multilateral liberalization. It concludes that in a second‐best world preferential arrangements could either improve or decrease global welfare. For agricultural trade, previous experience suggests that in regional groupings such as the EC trade diversion exceeded trade creation. This results from trade distorting domestic policies. Prospects for liberalization of agricultural trade under either GATT or preferential arrangements are limited. the consequences for small agricultural exporters are not positive.

“…In the US, the supportive prices led to wheat surpluses, which were granted to developing countries as food aid, sold at concessional prices, or sold on the world market at lower prices than the domestic prices during the 1950s and 1960s (Friedmann, 1982). Price supports have also been one of the major components of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy and have substantially limited the import of many agricultural products in the EU (Demekas et al, 1988;Swinbank, 1992).…”

“…Winters (1987) surveys analyses of trade-related effects of British membership, and Pelkmans and Winters (1988) provide a very early study of the possible consequences of 1992 for Britain. Economic analyses of the CAP are numerous and varied, though a useful survey of the literature is Demekas et al (1988). One of the most thorough analyses of the CAP on the member states is Buckwell et al (1982).…”
