Abstract:

CAP represents an “old” European policy with high impact on the socio-economic sustainable development. The paper is focused on the following goals: to realize a comparative analysis between the Member States using some representative indicators; to implement the idea of grouping the states into clusters; to forecast the agricultural indicators during 2014 - 2020. The analysis covers three steps: comparative dynamic analysis, regression and cluster analysis. All analysis’ steps and conclusions are based on the latest official statistic data and are supported by pertinent diagrams. In order to obtain adequate results, we used long data series and dedicated software SPSS. The main conclusion of the paper is the existence of three speeds European agriculture, which supports the increase of the agricultural disparities. Moreover, the new financial perspective will be not able to solve the agriculture’s problems, especially in the latest Member States. The problem becomes more difficult because some of these states have large agricultural surfaces.
