The increasing importance of ecological and environmental protection policies, as well as the corresponding social preferences and action taken by non-governmental organizations, have contributed to the enhanced role of pro-ecological solutions implemented as a part of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). However, on the basis of analysis of official EU documents and bills relating to the 2014-2020 CAP reform, it can be argued that the importance of the aforementioned factors has diminished compared to the reform bill originally proposed by the European Commission. This may be the result of the opposing stand taken by the European Parliament as a consequence of the special interests of those states with a relatively large share of agriculture in their economies and the influence of the food processing industry lobby. As a result, the scope and effectiveness of some instruments of substantial importance (specifically those implemented as a part of the second pillar of the CAP) will rely on internal policies exercised by individual Member States.(original abstract)

Rosnące znaczenie problemów ekologicznych i polityki ochrony środowiska, a także związanych z nimi preferencji społecznych i aktywności organizacji pozarządowych przyczyniły się do wzmocnienia proekologicznych rozwiązań w WPR. Na podstawie analizy oficjalnych dokumentów UE oraz projektów aktów dotyczących reformy tej polityki na lata 2014-2020 można jednak stwierdzić, że ich znaczenie zostało osłabione w stosunku do pierwotnego projektu reformy Komisji Europejskiej. Wpłynął na to opór Parlamentu Europejskiego, który w swoim stanowisku uwzględnił interesy krajów o relatywnie dużym znaczeniu rolnictwa w gospodarce oraz postulaty lobby przemysłu rolno-spożywczego. W rezultacie zakres i skuteczność zastosowania niektórych istotnych instrumentów (zwłaszcza w II filarze WPR), będzie zależeć od wewnętrznej polityki państw członkowskich.(abstrakt oryginalny)
