A LEGAL AND ECONOMIC VIEW OF THE OBJECTIVES AND AIMS OF THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY 2023–2027: AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS INTERDEPENDENCE

Summary/Abstract: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a partnership between society and agriculture, ensur-ing a stable supply of good-quality food and guaranteeing support for farmers’ incomes whileprotecting the environment and the dynamic development of Europe’s rural areas. The changingreality, as well as European society’s own expectations regarding healthy and safe food at af-fordable prices, or the emergence of an environmental conscience, are the reasons for reformingEuropean agricultural policy. The author aims to determine whether the directions of the CAP2023–2027 and the adopted measures and legal solutions serve the achievement of both primaryand specific objectives. The paper analyses the issue of the reformed CAP 2023–2027. The meth-odology is based on the presentation of the historical outline of the CAP, and the analysis of theEU documents, economic materials and legal literature, as well as reference to the practice ofdirect payments. The problem of the differences in the priorities of the European society in termsof expectations regarding the directions of CAP or the contradictions in the solutions adopted fordirect payments, limiting their availability, is addressed, alongside other issues. In the light ofthe findings of this article, it is necessary for the EU legislator to redirect CAP 2023–2027, withthe primary aim of ensuring the EU’s self-sufficiency and food security. At present, income sup-port for farmers must therefore be prioritized in order for other objectives and orientations of theCAP to be achieved, especially the environmental ones.
