Evolution and Change in the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union

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.
