Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 7.9 / 10, University of Applied Sciences Groningen (Economics), course: European Buisness Enviroment, language: English, abstract: This report will describes the influence of the enlargement of the EU on the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ). I have chosen this topic, because it is most important, due to the huge influence of the CAP on the EU`S financial budget. Also the future for the CAP is very uncertain and this will have a large impact on the European farmers. For the successful completion of this work I had to understand why there is an CAP and how it works, so that I could think about the future of it. First I gave a short look on history, this is very important to understand the CAP. I considered that having a short look on how the CAP works would be a very important step to analyse the impact of the Enlargement. After having analyzed how the CAP works I had an closer look on the costs of the CAP and discussed the advantages and disadvantages. Then I am giving some facts and figures about the wheat industry and in conclusion to that I had a closer look on eastern Europe on the example of Poland. Furthermore I analyzed the impact of the enlargement on the Wheat industry The last part of the report is a short conclusion about this topic.
