Monday 24th of January

Today we have started the class correcting one ejercice about CAP, that is the common agricultural policy.We have talked about the main problems are:
- Subsidies to abandom crops and subsidies to recover the same crops a few years later.

-Very rich producers who don´t live from agriculture receive subsidies.

-Shortage of some products due to the subsidies ´policy of abandoning certain production(milk).

-The import of some products damages the prices and beneficts of the farmers.

And the main actions are:

-The EU gives subsidies to the farmers to keep some crops or to abandom some others.

-The EU signs trade agreements with some countries to import their products at a cheaper price.

We have talked about fishing. Paqui has told us that Spain has a big fishing power, it has thousand of kilometers of coasts and there are a lot of indutries related to fish. Also paqui has told us that overfishing reduced the territories that are from Spain, this fact obliged to Spain to look for fishing in other places. Paqui has given to us a sheet of paper that talks about CAP news. But that´s not fair because the 73%of the recipients are part-time,and they received 17% of the CAP subsidies. And the 22% of the recipients are full-time farmers and they got 60% of the subsidies. Finally as of navember 2010 it si forbidden to make the list of the list of the CAP recipients public, because a court of justice has considered that this is a violation of the law of protection of personal data. Today kelly has been with us.

See you on wednesday.
