Project
Common Agricultural Policy – Future developments of the 2. Pillar of CAP?
Elaboration and analysis of proposals for further development of the 2nd pillar of EU agricultural policy
The 2. Pillar of CAP belongs to the Common Agricultural Policy, but simultaneously addresses the Cohesion Policy. It is situated between the poles of sector-related and regional policy. Furthermore, it must contribute to the overall climate and environmental EU-objectives. We analyse in our project current policy instruments and elaborate proposals for future adjustments.
Background and Objective
Rural development policy in Germany is mainly determined by EU-regulations. Therefore, we concentrate on the EU-proposals for the 2. Pillar of CAP. Activities dealt with the new legislation on rural development for the programming period 2014-2022. And in recent analyses we focussed on the CAP Strategic Plans after 2023.
Approach
We analyse options of well-designed measures supporting rural development. We take into account changing conditions like the CAP-reform, globalisation and demographic changes. We look at the requirements for new measures as well as at improvements of the effectiveness and efficiency of currently implemented measures.
Data and Methods
We mainly use results and expertise of other theme-related research and evaluation projects of Thuenen-Institutes and prepare their finding in view of our research questions: Is the design of the 2. Pillar 2014 – 2020 in line with the experiences of the former period? Does the 2. Pillar contributes to climate protection? Does greening provide an impetus for biodiversity? A how the new Eco-Schemes could be assessed?
Preliminary Results
We already published analyses with regard to the construction of the 1. and 2. Pillar and neighboring policy fields like regional policy (only available in German).
