It is hard to dispute that the CAP needs further reform, considering the failure of the Doha Trade Negotiations and the plight of the many poor countries that rely on the export of farm products. On the other hand, it would be unwise to make EU farm policy dependent on national prerogatives.
Teško je osporiti kako CAP treba dodatnu reformu, pogotovo uzevši u obzir neuspjeh trgovinskih pregovora u Dohi i traženje mnogih siromašnih zemalja koje se oslanjaju na izvoz poljoprivrednih proizvoda. s druge strane, ne bi bilo mudro učiniti poljoprivrednu politiku EU ovisnom o nacionalnim prioritetima.
