Objective
The imminent changes in the Union's external relations face the European agricultural sector with a number of challenges. The prospect of a new round of trade negotiations and the perspective of enlargement increase the need to deepen the reforms of the Union's agricultural policies, as set out in Agenda2000. The outcomes of negotiation rounds such as WTO trade negotiations and the Kyoto environmental summit bear implications for European farmers, related supplying and processing industries and European consumers. The assessment of likely policy impact is bound to be complex and should be supported by quantitative modelling analysis that explicit the relations of European countries with third countries and that encompasses the relations between the agricultural sector and the national economies within the European countries.
The proposal is to develop a network of researchers involved in international trade, resource and environmental modelling and who (potentially) use the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) as tool of analysis.
The objectives of the proposed work are: - to assess the usefulness of the GTAP framework for (global) issues that are of importance to the European Union. - to bring together European researchers who work on the field of global trade, I resource and environmental issues and who (potentially) use the GTA framework as tool of analyses.- to identify joint research proposals that actually apply the GTAP framework to European Issues. To achieve these objectives, a collaborative effort among European research institutions and academic institutions is proposed that sets out to:- asses the state of the art on international trade modelling and related resource and environmental modelling.- survey on-going research in which the GTAP framework (model and database) is used and to assess its usefulness for applications to European policy issues.- communicate to EU policy makers the usefulness of the GTAP framework as an instrument for analysing policies on the field of international trade, resource and environmental issues.- publish of a state of the art document on applications of the GTAP framework as far as relevant for the EU.- identification research needs to improve the usefulness of the GTAP framework for analysing EU relevant policy issues and research needs in response to changes in agricultural, environmental and trade policies.
