What the paper says

Over the past quarter of a century, the European Union has transformed itself from a defensive agricultural trade player into the world's largest agri-food exporter and importer, driven by successive Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms and market-oriented adjustments.This paper traces the evolution of EU agri-trade, highlighting the role of decoupled payments, structural competitiveness, and diversification of trade flows.It assesses the EU's resilience to recent crises -from COVID-19 to energy shocks and the Ukraine war -while examining growing tensions between trade liberalisation, environmental standards, and geopolitical fragmentation.The analysis stresses the mounting challenges in reconciling climate goals with food security concerns and warns against regressive policy trends that ignore past reform achievements.Ultimately, the paper argues for maintaining evidence-based, market-oriented strategies to preserve the EU's global leadership in sustainable agri-trade amid rising demands for food sovereignty and strategic autonomy.
