Paper 3: Developing a More Comprehensive Rationale for EU Funding for the Environment

Published: Jul 02, 2010
Author(s): Håkon By, Matt Rayment, Tamsin Cooper
Categories: Agriculture and Rural Development

This paper evaluates the case for using state intervention to reverse existing environmental degradation and deliver improvements, before focusing specifically on the rationale for intervening at the European level. It argues for the 'added value' of an EU-wide environmental policy framework, with a proportion of funding originating from a common budget. It asserts that re-orientating the CAP post 2013, so that it supports the provision of environmental goods and services, strengthens the case for having a common policy at EU level.

Published: Jun 28, 2010
Author(s): Hannah Lee, Kaley Hart, Matt Rayment
Categories: Agriculture and Rural Development
Download: Click to download

This paper examines a range of transitional arrangements that could facilitate a shift in the basis of CAP payments away from the current system of support, towards one based on a rationale more focused on the provision of environmental goods and services. The paper considers the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the opportunities and risks associated with a range of transitional options. These considerations are based on an analysis of the anticipated impacts of introducing a new, more environmentally focused, system of support.This is the first in a series of four discussion papers.
