Introduction CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) is a policy by the EU member countries to see that the EU farmers have been protected to ensure that there is an increased production by the farmers which will lead to the economic growth of the member countries. CAP should be reformed due to the many benefits it will give to the member countries as we shall see below. The following is a report to the Head of the member state on why CAP should be reformed in the EU. Should CAP be reformed? CAP reform will mark the beginning of a new era in the EU farmers. It is out of the formation of the CAP policy that our farmers will be in a position to record great change in their farm production hence leading to an increased economic growth in most of our countries. This is because CAP is one of the effective policies that will mostly help the EU farmers to have a sustainable development hence increase their living standards. This is because the bulk to the direct payment will no longer be linked to the production but in either case, the CAP policy will help most of the EU farmers to stabilize most of their incomes hence at the same time be in a position to produce what the consumers really want. So with the CAP policy, it is sending a strong message to the world in that it is through the CAP policy that our farmers will be in a position to strongly compete with world in the globalization process since the CAP policy is a trade friendly reform in that it is a trade agreement that will help the EU farmers to record a great change in their total output in the near future hence be in a position to compete in the global market. The CAP policy is saying goodbye to the old system of farming whereby most of the small scale farmers have been neglected and manipulated by the large scale farmers which also distorted the world trade in most of the EU farmers hence tending to harm most of the developing countries through the instability of the world prices. The CAP will ensure that the world prices have been stabilized so that the farmers can be in a position to market their total output well without having to incur so much losses. CAP should be reformed because most of the trade policies are highly trade-distorting and have also become increasingly so. This is because most of the agricultural policies do not address the farmers needs hence meaning that most of the trade has been highly distorted as a result of a lack of a good policy which will help most of the farmers both the large and the small scale to record an increased total output. (de Grauwe, 2005). The policy position It will be geared towards the consumers plus the taxpayer’s interest while at the same time continuing to assist farmers. You find that because of the issue of globalization, it is important to take care of our farmers both the large scale and the small scale in order to ensure that the agricultural sector in the EU has been improved. The best thing to achieve the new CAP is to ensure that the consumers and the taxpayers have been charged high since it’s through the tax which we get from such people that we will be in a position to improve our economy. (McDonald, 2005) The new CAP will also ensure that we have safeguard the rural environment
