Common Agriculture Policy: The Case of Croatia

The negotiation process for EU membership intensified the adjustment of agricultural policy to the CAP standards, but in this process the policy choices were often made as a ‘wish list’ or as the result of ‘Europeanisation pressure’, lacking in clear policy targets, criteria and argumentation. Both elements – administrative disorientation and the weak absorption capacity of domestic farmers – have resulted in a slow and inadequate policy result even today, when Croatia is a full EU member. That is why in this chapter we try to identify the critical points of the domestic agricultural policy reform under the influence of EU accession and the CAP reforms, and find an explanation for the policy results and failures during the past two decades.
