Agriculture has been singled out not only for its strategic importance comparable
with industry but also for political reasons bearing in mind that in post-war years
there was a question whether western Europe would be able to feed itself and that
the economies of France and Germany - the main partners in the Community - were
complementary, France being predominantly an agricultural country and Germany
an industrial country. Agriculture, therefore, became a self-contained policy governed
by its own rules and financed from the Community budget.
According to art. 39 the objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are:
(1) to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and by ensuring the rational development of agricultural production and the optimum utilization
of all factors of production, in particular labour;
(2) thus to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, in particular
by increasing the individual earnings of persons engaged in agriculture;
(3) to stabilize markets;
(4) to provide certainty of supplies; and
(5) to ensure supplies to consumers at reasonable prices.
