Essay: C.A.P

 C.A.P stands for Common Agricultural Policy. This was set up in E.U in 1962. Its aims were to create a single market in which agricultural products could move freely; to make the European Community self-sufficient by giving preference and restricting imports; to give financial support to E.C farmers: subsidies, guaranteed market for unlimited production and to increase the fields size, farm size and farmers income.
 Creating a single market not only supports the economy but also makes those people buy their production. To support financially the farmers helps them reduce poverty. Increasing the average of field size gives them more power and they get more space for productions.
 Although these ideas are really good, they have its cons.: the simple market makes them lose money and it doesn't let them export their products. Supporting the farmers financially doesn't benefit them in the way that they have to pay to them by themselves and they don't earn money. The problems of increasing the farm size are that if there is any inconvenience, they lose more money and taxes are higher.
 Finally we can say that the C.A.P, as everything, has its pros. and cons although it was created in the past; so it can be good or bad, depending on the point of view you have.
