Abstract
The study provides an overview of recent economic and policy developments of theEU F&V sector, considering ongoing changes in supply chains and market dynamicsand current profiles of domestic and trade policies. Findings suggest that currentdifficulties for EU producers, particularly for small farming, arises mainly from longtermchanges at different levels of the global F&V sector: consumers, retail andmultinational agribusiness. The preliminary assessment of the 2007 reformed CMO,derived from both National Strategies and a survey targeting POs of Italy, Spain andFrance, validate the cornerstones of the current EU policy schemes for the F&Vsector. However plausible improvements are envisaged for support and tradeprotection measures in the framework of the CAP after 2013. Main proposals focus astrengthened role of POs, selecting and increasing effectiveness of crises and riskmanagement measures, rebalancing bargaining power of POs in the supply chain,reducing fluctuations in producers’ income, refining trade policy solutions in acontext of increased trading openness and further integration with MediterraneanPartner Countries.[...]I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
