Abstract
This paper contributes to the field of European policy-analysis and interest group representation. It specifically addresses the Common Agricultural Policy’s reform process and the evaluation of the impact of interest groups within the EU’s institutional representation. Additionally, it tries to clarify the major reasons for reform occurrence and the historical evolution of the Common Agricultural Policy whilst in connection to the main players in policy-making. As such, the case of the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council’s positions in the process of reform are analysed. Moreover, the process of reforming is investigated under the perspective of certain selected theories of interest group politics. The paper is useful for the thorough research of the policy chosen in that it provides complex information from a four point outlook: historical, economical, theoretical and analytical. Not the least, the latest reform known as the ‘Greening of CAP’ is presented, analysed and criticised accordingly to the latest information available.
