Developments in the Doha Round and WTO dispute settlement: some implications for EU agricultural policy
评估多哈回合进展与2003-2004年菲施勒改革对欧盟共同农业政策的影响，分析出口补贴取消、国内支持限制和市场准入对欧盟农业及食品出口的潜在后果。
Progress in the Doha Round is assessed against the changes to the common agricultural policy (CAP) brought about by the Fischler reforms of 2003-2004, and that proposed for sugar. An elimination of export subsidies could place EU exports of processed foods at a competitive disadvantage because of high sugar and milk prices. Provided the single payment scheme falls within the green box, the likely new limits on domestic support should not be problematic for the post-Fischler CAP. However, an ambitious market access package could open up EU markets and bring pressure for further reform. If there is no Doha agreement, existing provisions will continue to apply, but without the protection of the Peace Clause; and increased litigation is likely. Further CAP reform is to be expected.
