In the perspective of a CAP reform and changes of the agricultural budget after 2013, Notre Europe undertakes a prospective study on the conditions under which European agriculture could fit into the world economy over the next twenty five years. This study scrutinises the factors set to affect agricultural activity in Europe and comes up with proposals for a new agricultural policy.

Contrary to studies undertaken over the last twenty years, this research paper does not confine itself to economic issues. It also takes into account agriculture's political and sociological dimensions, setting its questions in a European framework.

In 2009 Commissioner M. Fischer Boel launched a discussion to reconsider the architecture of direct payments, with a view to rethinking the philosophy of agricultural regulation within the EU. On the occasion of the Swedish EU Presidency, Notre Europe and the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies (SIEPS) invited specialists, policy-makers, Commission officials and researchers to a seminar in Stockholm to pursue this debate on the CAP post-2013.
