| Title |
Enlargement Network for Agripolicy Analysis |
| Content |
In the view of the integration of new Member States, strengthening the accession process for the remaining Candidate Countries and the closer co-operation with other candidate and precandidate countries, notably of the Western Balkans, it is important to establish and combine insight and analyses of agricultural developments in the different countries. It is important to include all relevant countries (i.e. Malta, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Serbia (including Kosovo under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244) and Montenegro). The area of expertise and analyses on the individual countries should cover agricultural policies, agricultural markets and food chains, the competitiveness of agri-food products and farms including structural change, the developments of trade and trade relations, as well as developments of rural economies and regions including socio-economic conditions and rural labour markets and agro-environmental situations. Since the agricultural, economic and socio-economic conditions vary significantly between the countries a strong and a wide expertise needs to be established by individual countries as does the capacity to achieve a regional and European perspective in the different analyses. |
| Expected Impact |
The project will provide the analytical tools to increase the effectiveness of EC measures in support of agriculture and rural development within the accession process and the new neighbourhood policy |

| Title |
Economic analysis of certification systems for organic food and farming |
| Content |
Research should analyse the costs, and thus the effectiveness, of different standard setting procedures and certification systems as a basis for optimisation of the current EU certification system (Reg. EEC 2092/91). The task is to quantify for selected products all relevant expenditure and transaction cost for certification along the entire supply chain for the actors involved: farm, processing, wholesaling, retail and import level as well as the administration level and recognition of the various standards, logos and trademarks by consumers in various regions of the EU. The project should conclude in recommendations to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of organic certification for the EU Commission, national competent authorities and private actors in organic food and farming. |
| Expected Impact |
Efficient certification systems for organic farming with lower costs, contribute to better regulation and will increase the competitiveness of the European organic farming sector. |

| Title |
NEW ISSUES IN AGRICULTURAL, FOOD, AND BIOENERGY TRADE. |
| Content |
The research work should aim at a wide-ranging impact assessment of the liberalisation of agricultural and trade policies. It should take into account both multilateral and bilateral agreements and changes in the direction of trade flows. Therefore a spatial model should be used. Special emphasis should be put on the EU's trade with its main partners. The product coverage should fit with the WTO definition of agricultural products, but appropriate disaggregating is needed to identify key changes in the composition of trade (bulk, intermediate, consumer-oriented, including a special focus on biofuels). In addition to assessing the impact of liberalisation on agricultural markets and the sector's income, a series of issues should be studied: degree of concentration and competition in trade (share of main exporting countries and of major trans-national companies, export monopolies), risk of dependence on a limited number of suppliers, consequences of sanitary or phytosanitary barriers and problems. |
| Expected Impact |
The project will provide analysis and data to underpin the European position in trade negotiations. |

| Title |
Trade, Agricultural Policies and Structural Changes in India's Agrifood System; Implication for National and Global Markets |
| Content |
India is a leading world agricultural producer and consumer. Depending on factors affecting demand and supply, its net trade position can quickly change and have a significant impact on world commodity markets. The research should provide a qualitative and quantitative analysis of future developments in Indian supply, demand and trade for the main agricultural commodities. The aim is to evaluate the impact that domestic structural changes and trade agreements (WTO, GSP) may have on the EU and Indian agricultural sectors as well as on world markets. Special emphasis should be put on agricultural trade with the EU, taking into account the possible outcome of the Doha Round and the Community's future new GSP scheme for 2006 to 2015 and a possible future Free Trade Agreement with the EU. The work will provide a comparison with the agricultural trade prospects with other developed (in particular Quad) countries, including under their GSP schemes. Similarly, the project should examine prospects for regional trade, including with countries benefiting from the 'Everything But Arms' agreement with the EU, and the likely consequences for the cumulation of origin under EU preferential agreements. The project should take into account (ongoing) work carried out on India by international organisations, especially the OECD and FAO. |
| Expected Impact |
Sound analysis to underpin the trade negotiations. |

| Title |
Assessing the Impact of Rural Development Policies |
| Content |
This project will assess the economic, social and environmental impact of rural development programmes currently adopted for the period 2007 to 2013. The work will focus on the EU priorities defined in the Strategic Guidelines for rural development. These include the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sectors, knowledge transfer and innovation, biodiversity and preservation of high nature value farming and forestry systems, water, and climate change, the creation of employment opportunities in the fields of diversification and quality of life, improving governance and mobilising the endogenous development potential of rural areas. The research will focus on the key areas of expenditure and will be grounded in the approach defined by the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework established in the rural development regulation. |
| Expected Impact |
The project results will help understand the contribution of rural development programmes to EU priorities and feed into the development of the next generation of rural development policies, leading to more effective targeting of measures and use of resources. |

| Title |
New Sources of Employment to Promote the Wealth-Generating Capacity of Rural Communities |
| Content |
The project will identify labour market, demographic and economic trends in rural areas across EU-27 and the potential for new sources of employment outside traditional primary and secondary sector activities. It will take into account the European Guidelines for Employment, technological change and the shift to a knowledge based economy. It will focus 18 A complementary topic on the impact of the CAP is open in area 8.2.2 of the Socio-economic sciences and humanities Theme (Theme 8) on human capital, skills and adaptability as well as demand for labour in sectors such as the provision of environmental services, recreational amenities and traditional skills. It will examine the interaction between different types of rural area (peri-urban, remote, high environmental amenity value etc.) and the evolution of labour markets, travel to work areas and changing work patterns. It will identify employment growth areas where rural development programmes can be targeted to increase their contribution to employment creation. |
| Expected Impact |
The project results will allow a better targeting of rural development measures and future evolution of rural development policies in line with the Lisbon Strategy. |

| Title |
Farm Accountancy Cost Estimation and Policy Analysis of European Agriculture |
| Content |
The project aims to define and to develop one (or more) economic model(s) for estimating the cost of production of various types of agricultural products using the FADN data. As a first step, a methodology concerning the development of the model(s), the evaluation of the accuracy of the results provided by the model(s) and the estimation of the error(s) per model should be developed. In the next step and on the basis of the outcome of the first part of the project one or more models should be developed, validated and tested covering at least 3 types of products (do be defined during the first phase, once the methodology is developed). Finally a mechanism/methodology for maintaining and updating the model(s) should be described and applied and tested at least for one type of product (to be defined during the initial phase). The model(s) will be used for evaluating the impact of the various agricultural measures on agricultural income and business using FADN data. |
| Expected Impact |
The project results will allow the accuracy of the impact assessment of CAP measures to be improved. |

| Title |
Good animal welfare in a socio-economic context: Project to promote insight on the impact for the animal, the production chain and society of upgrading animal welfare standards |
| Content |
This project will assess the benefits and costs to society, the livestock industry, and to the animal, of measures aimed at promoting animal welfare. It will include analysis of welfare standards in the EU and in third countries, evaluation of methods used for documentation of animal welfare and behaviour and implications on international trade and competitiveness. Typically, European consumers demand high levels of animal welfare in livestock production. Regulation to improve animal welfare, however, raises fears of unfair competition for imported livestock products. Despite this, some high welfare standards may not imply significant additional costs, and some may result in added value and increased economic benefits. |
| Expected Impact |
The project will support the development of European policy on animal welfare and, in particular, the implementation of the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010. |

| Title |
Theorical Developments and Empirical Measurement of the External Costs of Pesticides |
| Content |
Internalisation of external costs of pesticides is an option considered by some Member States as a valid policy action to reduce their use and limit their negative impacts on humans and on the environment. Research is needed to assess the feasibility and benefits of such an approach. The project should, (i) identify true external costs of pesticides, taking into account the direct impact on the operators and indirect impact on bystanders, residents, consumers and the environment, (ii) develop options/criteria for an effective and realistic system of taxes/levies on pesticides, (iii) study the potential support of incentives to implement the substitution principle to pesticides (preferred use of plant protection products with lower risks to human health and the environment) and, (iv) study the possible implementation and feasibility of such a system. |
| Expected Impact |
The project will contribute to the further development of market-based instruments to support the development and implementation of the Sustainable Use of Pesticides thematic strategy. In the preparation of the strategy, following detailed research and taking into due account the specificities of both pesticides supply and demand, the Commission finally considered that knowledge and instruments were not yet ripe to allow taxation to be part of the TS - this research should contribute to fill this knowledge gap. |

| Title |
Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact - The Rural Development Dimension |
| Content |
Many quantitative models exist for the analysis of CAP Pillar 1 market and income support policies. There are fewer models for the analysis of the wide-ranging and more diverse policy measures under Pillar 2, rural development measures. With the development of GIS techniques, a vast amount of data is now available. The establishment of the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework has increased the collection of indicators related to the implementation of EU rural development policy for the period 2007-13. At the same time, cross-sectional econometrics has been further developed to analyse these new data sets by means of spatial econometrics. Further development of agricultural economic models is now needed, with which this data can be processed and analysed further. The model should allow firstly, the processing of the available data such that secondary indicators referring to the three rural development axes can be calculated, in order to improve ex-ante policy impact assessments. Secondly, analysis should be provided on the causalities as a result of simulated policy changes (e.g. regional price transmission, effects of enlargement or recent developments in the first and second pillar of the CAP). This part of the model could be based on simulation models, spatial econometrics, multi-agent models or other comparable analytical approaches. The coverage of the model should be EU-27 plus candidate countries[1] and potential candidate countries[2]. Cluster analysis combining statistical, model and other data could be used (and should be possible to be used by the model) to depict regional characteristics and impacts of rural development instruments on regional development. Nevertheless, the task requires the gathering of data and expertise at Member State level in order to fill the gaps between data available at European level and at national and regional level. To make the tool user-friendly the two components should be combined, by the development of operational interfaces. |
| Expected Impact |
The research project will allow a better analysis of the effects of EU agricultural policies at regional level as well as higher levels of aggregation. |

| Title |
Assessment of the impacts of non-tariff barriers - NTB on the competitiveness of the EU and selected trade partners |
| Content |
Comparative research on the impacts of non-tariff trade barriers on the competitiveness of the EU and selected trade partners. In a world developping towards free trade of agricultural and food products non-tariff trade barriers are of increasing importance for all countries involved. The project would provide a comparative study on conditions for importing agricultural and food products into the EU and into the main competing players (in addition to those mentioned below, also Brazil, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand). Consequences for imports from least developed countries should also be analysed. The research should be underpinned by the creation of a database on non-tariff barriers for countries that are key markets for EU agri-food exports (especially US, Russia, Canada, Japan, China, India). The product coverage should be as wide as possible (e.g. WTO definition of agri-food products). Case studies are needed in the following sub-sectors: meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables. The research should take account of work developed by international organisations, especially mutual exchange of information with the OECD is encouraged. This research area is particularly well suited for cooperation with Third Countries (e.g. Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, United States, Russia, New Zealand and Japan). |
| Expected Impact |
The project will allow to identify opportunities and develop options for the trade negotiations and disputes based on sound analysis. It will also contribute to elaborate win-win options in the framework of the trade and cooperation agreements that the EU concluded with developing countries. |

| Title |
Non-Food Crops-to-Industry schemes in EU27 |
| Content |
This coordination action should bring together stakeholders such as industry, academia, plant breeders and economists. Coordination of activities should result in a portfolio of industrial crops suitable for the different Member States and map the most promising plant-based products derived from these crops that meet the future needs of consumers and industry (e.g. fibres, resins, oils, speciality products, etc). The CSA should identify the necessary enabling technologies to overcome the bottlenecks in plant breeding (such as yield or adaptation), and enable the conversion, extraction and processing of the envisaged compounds. Also it should identify the economic potential and best business opportunities for the industrial exploitation of European non-food crops. |
| Expected Impact |
Selection and prioritisation of non-food crops which will enhance the competitiveness of the European industry, and will improve rural development through diversification and provision of new sustainable sources of income for the farming community. |
