An Argument in Favour of the CAP…

The Common Agricultural Policy of the EU is one of the largest subsidies in the world, “it represents 48% of the EU’s budget [or] €49.8 billion in 2006.” That is a lot of money in anyone’s book, but when it appears hardly anyone…

Actually, food prices are kept artificially high by the CAP, especially the cost of fruit and vegetables. And keeps developing economies from being able to sell food to us on a fair basis. It is precisely because it harms the poor in both Europe and elsewhere that support for the CAP is almost uniquely indefensible. The harms of the Lisbon Treaty, by contrast, are less predictable and more diffuse.

“What’s wrong with the CAP Nick? You don’t know anything about it do you? Perhaps you think we should stop farming, stop producing food?”

How were we producing food before CAP? Weren’t we getting some much more cheaply from the Commonwealth?

But hey, if food quadruples in price only poor people in underdeveloped countries will starve.”

I thought it was CAP protecting our markets from cheap food produced by said poor people.

Then of course there’s those wine lakes and butter mountains. Doesn’t strike me as a particularly good system.

What’s wrong with the CAP Nick? You don’t know anything about it do you? Perhaps you think we should stop farming, stop producing food? We have to have a coherent agricultural policy, if only to deal with the fact that our society imposes much higher costs on agriculture than it faces anywhere else. But hey, if food quadruples in price only poor people in underdeveloped countries will starve.

You are right. The Lisbon treaty itself is arguable (though not the way it has been introduced) but support for the CAP is unforgiveable.

I am completely flabbergasted no one has yet turned up to claim:

1) this is a non-story
2) these are just attempts to smear ‘kaminski’
3) that ZaNuLieBore is just as bad.

shocking.
