CAP OF EU AS THE DYNAMICAL UNION OF SECTORAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL INTERESTS
CAP is the history of the dynamical partnership between citizens, farmers, and politicians, which was developed in the correspondence with global challenges. CAP has passed the way from the solution of the problems of a deficit of foodstuffs to the solution of the problems of its quality and safety with the creation of proper conditions of upkeep of animals, guarantee of the controllability and conservation of the environment, and production of public benefits, by which the producers supply the citizens of EU.
Due to CAP, the citizens of EU have guarantees of the solution of a number of social questions (quality and safety of foodstuffs, consumer’s choice, conservation of the rural territory and natural resources, prosperity of rural communities, conservation of the traditional style of life, ensuring the health of animals) and global problems such as changes in the climate and food security. The guarantees of CAP concerning those economic, social, and ecological questions testify that it serves not only the farmers, but all Europeans, because namely they pay for its realization.
The new agrarian policy till 2020 corresponds to the economic, ecological, and territorial challenges, with which Europe and the world are faced in the third millennium, and demonstrates the real responsibility for the solution of global problems affecting many persons in EU and outside it (especially, the problems of food security, changes in the climate, and migration). In this case, it shows the dedication to the European model of agriculture built on the family farming and supports its advantages such as the self-provision with foodstuffs in the Euroregion with the 500-million population and the potential ability to the management on the principles of stability, which secures, in turn, its future in the long-term perspective.
Ukraine can take the important lessons from the evolution of CAP for the creation of a new ideological platform with state’s support of the development of the domestic agriculture and the rural communities. The time periods, when the monoculturization and the growth of a raw-materials export were considered as the political priorities, must go to the past. Such practice destroys the foundations of not only the rural life, but the very agricultural production as well.
