Establishing the Effects of the Common Agricultural Policy in Environment Protection

Abstract
The goal is to establish the effects and to reveal the changes, expected to occur in the environment protection management in view of CAP application and the eventual impact on the other stakeholders (government authorities intergovernmental institutions and agencies, NGOs, business and civil structures, natural persons, etc.). The conclusion was made, that in order to have a successful environment protection management within CAP and results of the implemented standards to be high, the issues of equal and fair allocation of the benefits and the costs of the changes are of paramount importance. Due to the low incomes in Bulgarian agriculture, there is a risk, that some measures are going to increase the cost of the production activities and to suppress directly the demand.
