Nice video, well, it does not say nothing about the changes in the CAP. But their new innitiatives like "Every Thing But Arms" that allow tax free entrance to agricultural products in poor countries look primissing. Congratulations for changing the CAP!
But then the those greedy French farmers would go on strike and dump bags of shit outside the French parliament. Obviously EU money should be used to prevent that embarrassment to France.
It's necessary to reform the common agricultural policy, but don't abolish it, it won't help anybody, especially poor underdeveloped countries. You can't help the weak by killing the strong. It's impossible to help Africa just by making life hard for European farmers.
And obviously life would be hard for those massive corporations without a tax subsidy on production and tax barriers on foreign imports from the third world.
Yes, abolish it! The free market will bring down food prices for everyone instead of an implicit tax on the poor. CAP does not represent strength - producing a good quality product without subsidy or barriers to world trade would show strength. LDCs aren't weak - we just don't let them sell us what they want to.
I notice no mention of the massive subsidies on biofuels that is fueling not only global warming but the world food crisis. But then its such a 'lovely video' that it probably doesnt need it.
LOL US imported bio fuel is only economical to use because of the massive EU subsidy on it. At current rates EU produced bio fuel receives over 126 million euros in subsidy in 2007.

that's because there are no massive subsidies for biofuel in the CAP. In fact the Commission just proposed to get rid of the little there was.

This is a fairly bad joke!
My tax money is being wasted through pointless subsidy while the Third World is starving due to ruinous food prices.
Shameful!

Common Agricultural Policy: Drain on our society.
Wasting money so that farming corporations can earn profits while foodstuffs are expensive and full of chemicals.
We are also skewing world prices, wasting billions of eur and not allowing the poor third world countries to compete and import their commodities.
