Reimagining the European Union’s Agricultural Policy: A Call for Decentralization – EU Reporter
The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been under intense scrutiny, with critics scrutinizing its rigidity and centralized approach. As the debate intensifies, voices from various quarters, including farmers and politicians, are calling for significant reforms to better align with the EUfood security goals and economic growth.
Politicians, such as Axinia Adrian Vice-President of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), (pictured) argue that the current CAP undermines the fundamental principles of national sovereignty, self-determination and individual responsibility. Axinia stresses that the current approach imposed by the EU stifles innovation and hampers the ability of member states to tailor agricultural policies to necessary specifications, unique agricultural landscapes, climates, and traditions. Axinia emphasized the importance of allowing member states greater autonomy in shaping their agricultural policies to promote sustainability and economic growth, stating:
We believe that a one-size-fits-all approach imposed by the EU is not conducive to sustainable agricultural practices or economic growth. So far in Romania, the CAP has failed to help farmers develop their irrigation systems and to protect small, family-owned farms and keep them competitive in the single market.
Axinia makes it clear that the current CAP disproportionately benefits large agribusinesses over smaller, family-owned farms. Emphasising the necessity to reform agricultural subsidies to prioritize small and medium-sized farms, which contribute significantly to local economies, and support vibrant rural communities.
Events over the last few years have demonstrated a need for protectionist approaches to trade policy in safeguarding European farmers from amoral competition. Axinia states that: Tailored policies that support the strengths of each Member State can lead to a more efficient allocation of resources and a stronger agricultural sector overall, benefiting both farmers and consumers. By prioritizing domestic agricultural production, the EU could enhance food security, mitigate climate change, preserve biodiversity, and support local EU farmers. The AUR's stance aligns with a far broader and rapidly growing call for partial decentralization and flexibility within the CAP. Many have implored for the empowering of member states to best serve their agricultural sectors and citizens,
As the European Union continues to navigate these challenges, voices like those of Axinia Adrian, who advocate for a more decentralized and flexible approach to agricultural policy are rising, The EU must continue to listen to these growing concerns to successfully pave the way for brighter and more sustainable European agriculture.
