Effects of EU Enlargement to the Central European Countries on Agricultural Markets by Wolfgang Münch Pdf

Accession of the Central and Eastern European Countries is one of the biggest political projects for the European Union. As in all previous enlargements the agricultural chapter proves to be one of the most sensitive fields of the negotiations. This book examines the effects of enlargement on agricultural markets and government expenditure in the candidate countries as well as possible effects of different choices in the politically sensitive areas of direct payments and production quotas. The ten candidate countries have quite diverse economic and agricultural characteristics. Membership in the European Union, therefore, leads to varying macroeconomic effects. Two chapters specifically deal with these aspects and their effects on agriculture as well as likely country-specific developments in Hungary and in Slovenia. The quantitative tools developed and used for this analysis have also been more widely used by governments and institutions in analyses of questions related to enlargement. The book describes and documents these quantitative tools. Contents: Agricultural Markets in Central and Eastern Europe - The CAP of 1992 - The Agenda 2000 policies - Quotas and direct payments - Land retirement - Welfare effects for producers and consumers.

European Agriculture by Frank Fuller Pdf

This book provides an in-depth look at Europe's changing agricultural and food markets, focusing on the impacts of recent policy reforms, enlargement of the European Union (EU), and trade liberalisation. The papers included in this book braid together four important themes in European agriculture and food markets: the impacts of EU enlargement on productivity growth and catching up in the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), the influence of food quality standards on market structures in the CEECs and on trade, the impacts of common agricultural policy (CAP) reforms on EU and world markets, and the costs of adjusting to CAP reforms in specific sectors. The insights provided in these papers into the empirical interactions between policies, institutions, and market outcomes, both domestically and internationally, are valuable to policy makers and researchers interested in the future of European agriculture.

Food and Agriculture in Bulgaria by Csaba Csáki Pdf

Agriculture traditionally played a significant role in the Bulgarian economy. Before the present decade, Bulgaria was a major exporter of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables within Eastern and Central Europe. While the Bulgarian government has progressed rapidly since 1997, the delay in reforms has rendered Bulgarian food products as noncompetitive on the international market. Also, many important components of the transition are not completed. This report reviews the recent history and current state of Bulgarian agriculture and agroindustry. It examines the status of the sectoral reforms program, including reforms affecting pricing and trade, rural finance, land markets, and agroindustry, with emphasis on evaluating its progress toward meeting the criteria for EU accession. It highlights the tremendous advances made recently, and also suggests an agenda for prioritizing the remaining obstacles. This report is intended for agricultural scientists, public officials, politicians, agricultural and agroindustrial leaders, economic researchers and others interested in the transformation of agriculture in the transition economies and in issues pertaining to accession of Central and East European candidate countries to the European Union.

how accession to the european union has affected external trade and forigen direct investment in central european economics by Bartłomiej Kamiński Pdf

During the Central European countries' reintegration into the world economy, their proximity and accession to the European Union greatly affected first the flow of capital and then the flow of goods. Countries that adopted radical liberal reform and had preferential access to EU markets have benefited most, attracting foreign direct investment and drawing multinational corporations relocating their production sites.

Agriculture and the Environment in the EU Accession Countries by European Environment Agency Pdf

This report follows key policy questions that provide an insight into the relationship between agriculture and environment in the accession countries. It covers agricultural characteristics, trends and changes, effect on EU enlargement and key agri-environmental policy options of the 13 accession countries. It finds that the process of modernisation and intensification of agriculture has been disrupted by political changes. Agriculture is currently characterised by low inputs and productivity as a high associated biodiversity. Accession to the EU will make more resources available for agri-environment schemes and other rural development measures. These are important for reducing the environmental impact of the current trends. National level implementation and capacity building are key factors for making EU enlargement a success in this regard

EU Enlargement and its Macroeconomic Effects in Eastern Europe by H. Gabrisch,R. Pohl Pdf

What will joining the EU mean for the new Eastern member states and their economies? This book offers a detailed study of the macroeconomic and structural adjustment burden. It envisages a real currency appreciation stemming from price convergence, capital inflows and weak structural change. The widespread belief that an Eastern enlargement of the Union would be overwhelmingly to the detriment of the present EU (budgetary costs, locational decisions, trade deficits) is rejected. The authors discuss the lack of competitiveness of Eastern countries and their need for structural adjustments (in the financial sector, in agriculture, and in manufacturing) in order for them to survive and thrive in their new economic environment.

Agriculture and East-west European Integration by Jason G Hartell,Johan F.M Swinnen Pdf

This title was first published in 2000: This volume analyzes key issues of the process of integrating Central and Eastern European countries with the European Union related to agriculture. The issues include the comparative advantage of CEEC agriculture and its development under various accession policy scenarios; the likely policy developments in both the CEECs and the EU, based on economic, social and political economy considerations; the expected economic impacts and adjustment costs for the agro-food sector under various policy outcomes; the most important constraints for integration including policy convergence issues and internal constraints; and how integration will potentially affect trade and labour flows in the Union. The country combines detailed country-specific and region-wide empirical and theoretical analysis.

Who's Afraid of the Big Enlargement? by Tito Boeri Pdf

The initial enthusiasm of many EU citizens at the 'return to Europe' of former members of the Soviet bloc has turned to anxiety at the realization of the possible adverse consequences of enlargement. Potential undesirable effects of enlargement, in particular for labour markets and social conditions, can be met by appropriately designed policies which are so far not in place or planned. Rather than legitimizing such fears, politicians and policy-makers must dispel them by leading the EU and its members to adopt these measures. Enlargement also offers the EU a window of opportunity to accelerate unavoidable reforms of structural policies, agricultural policies and their financing. These are the premises of this new CEPR Policy Paper. The authors outline the key economic and social implications of the prospective accession of the Central and East European countries into the European Union and propose policy recommendations for EU enlargement.

The Economic Impact of Enlargement by European Commission. Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs Pdf

Enlargement is the most important task for the European Union in the years ahead. The applicantcountries included in the enlargement process at the present stage number thirteen: 10 Central andEastern European Countries (CEECs) (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia) as well as Cyprus, Malta andTurkey.Enlargement will have far-reaching implications for all aspects of the European Union, be theypolitical, institutional, economic, budgetary or social. The current study focuses on the economicaspects of the enlargement to include the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and seeks toanalyse its impact on the Union and its current members (EU-15) as well as on the applicantcountries. Many of the benefits of enlargement are already visible because of the high degree ofeconomic integration reached between the EU-15 and the CEEC-10. Accession itself, provided ittakes place in the right conditions, can provide a significant further boost to economic growth andprosperity in the candidate countries as well as a positive, but necessarily smaller, impact on thepresent Member States.
