Over time, the CAP has had a very important role for the economic objectives of the EU. It is the institutional policy with the highest share of the community budget. This article examines the evolution of the CAP since the nineties, with the aims of reducing surpluses, developing an agricultural sector which is sustainable and open in global markets and responding to the new priorities of consumers. The reform of the CAP proposed by the European Commission in May 2008 is also analyzed.

Palabras clave : agricultural policy; European Union; international trade.
