Is Multilateral Liberalisation of Agricultural Trade Good for Poland?

Abstracts

EN

The suspension of Doha negotiations in July 2006 does not imply that the Round will finally collapse. It seems interesting to evaluate from the current Polish perspective whether multilateral system for agriculture should be maintained in its present form. Thinking globally, multilateral liberalisation is good since, in terms of welfare, the EU will be its main beneficiary and Poland became a member country. The EU seems also morally responsible for the success of the Doha Round, which was meant to support developing countries. However, when national sector perspective is adopted instead of a global one, Poland should rather oppose multilateral liberalization. The accession to the EU provided excellent opportunities to develop agricultural production and exports. Also domestic conditions (farm labour, farm size structure, net transfers from general EU budget) favour integration over global opening to trade.
