t-1 ... t+n Periods 1 Level of Agricultural Protection Level of Agricultural Protection ... ESIM 2 Macro-economic Results (factor prices, exchange rates, incomes) Macro-economic Results (factor prices, exchange rates, incomes) ... CGE-Models Links between ESIM and the CGE models
Policy Scenarios • Accession in 2002 • No transition period • Reference Scenario: MEMBER / No CAP • AGENDA / No Direct Payments • AGENDA + Direct Payments
ESIM: Development of CEC-4 Net Exports under Alternative Policy Scenarios (million tons)
CGE Models: Impact of CAP Adoption on GDP and on Real Exchange Ratesrelative to MEMBER/No CAP, in percent
CGE Models: Impact of CAP Adoption on Sectoral Value Added and Welfare in 2005relative to MEMBER/No CAP, in percent
Conclusions • CEC accession leads to large production incentives • Introduction of CAP even without direct payments will increase total expenditure • Dramatic increase, if direct payments are included • Inclusion of direct payment will be and is the major obstacle in agricultural negotiations • CEC accession and CAP introduction will have macro-economic effects on all sectors • net trade position is crucial ('financial solidarity') • most consumers will suffer losses from extending CAP to CEC • However, further CAP reform before Eastern enlargement would minimise the negative effects
