Recent agricultural policy developments in the context of the EU approximation process in the pre-accession countries

The aim of this report is to analyse recent agricultural policy developments in the countries/territories of the Western Balkans (WBs) and Turkey and their state of harmonisation with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU. The report provides both comparative cross-country analyses and a more detailed assessment in the form of country case studies. The report builds on the series of previous work undertaken on a similar issue by providing an update on the recent agricultural policy developments in the region. That is, the report covers the period from 2017 to 2019 in detail, with reference made to changes that took place in the previous decade. The comparative cross-country analyses carried out in this report follow the conceptual framework that defines the key harmonisation principles required to align the agricultural policies of the WBs and Turkey with the EU’s CAP. A quantitative analysis of agricultural policy developments was performed using data on budgetary support for agriculture, systematised according to the unified statistical databases and the Agricultural Policy Measures Classification (APMC) tool, a uniform classification scheme of agricultural budgetary support enabling a comparison of the scope and structure of budgetary support for agriculture between the WBs and Turkey and the EU. The alignment of the agricultural policies of the WBs and Turkey with the EU’s CAP is rather heterogeneous across countries/territories. Overall, the agricultural policies of the WBs and Turkey are more in line in terms of commitment and future planning than in terms of the policy measures actually implemented. The WB countries/territories and Turkey adopted, to a large extent, the sustainability model in their medium- and longterm strategic planning for future agricultural policies by aiming to promote economic, environmental and social objectives in the agricultural sector and rural regions. However, when it comes to the implementation of measures, support is mainly production oriented and has a sectorial focus.
