 LMD - ENVIRONMENT AS A NON-TRADE CONCERN
In its paper entitled "Agriculture's contribution to environmentally and culturally related non-trade concerns", submitted to the Ullensvang conference on non-trade concerns on 2-4 July 2000, the European Commission analysed the link between farming and conservation of the environment, and advanced the need for specific targeted policies in this respect.
After a resumé of the conclusions drawn from the Ullensvang paper, the present note looks at the policy instruments which are presently used in this area in a number of countries, and the relevant provisions in the Agreement on Agriculture covering environmental measures.
The gradual shift from market price support to agri-environmental and other payments is leading on the one hand to a higher production of public goods demanded by society at large and, on the other, to more market-oriented agricultural production able to face increasing competition from abroad as well as for some products on world markets.
