Summary/Abstract: Being launched in 1962, the common agricultural policy represents an enormous partnership between the society itself and its farmers. The importance of the existence of a set of legal documents that focus on these aspects is justified especially due to the fact that statistically, despite the importance of the food production, farmers' incomes are about 40% lower than the incomes obtained in other fields of activity, due to the dependency of agriculture on the weather and climate conditions. The current study, therefore, aims in presenting a summary of the main legislative measures taken in the agricultural field by the European Union, trying to emphasize aspects that still need to find a solution for, in order for the farmers to maintain the profitability of their activity.
