Abstract:

Despite the vast research of CAP negotiation, there has been no studies on France position on greening between 2009-2024. The literature review gives only a legislative overview of the antes-2009 procedure. This paper investigates the subject by analysing two semi-directive interviews and a data analysis of official sources and think tanks on the subject to recreate a coherent of the France position. The analysis of these interviews shows that France is regaining influence in the negotiations for the 2023-2027 CAP programme after the 2014-2020 one. France has been able to take advantage of the inclusion of the European Parliament as a stakeholder in the negotiations to defend its position. In addition, the greening of the CAP, based on positive externalities and public goods, is a legit tool in the face of the reduced consequences of its involvement. Finally, in view of the waves of enlargement and the greening of the CAP, the negotiation process focused on the financial issues of the MFF, rationalising the application of the CAP. The position of France remains centred on the net return and the possibility of supporting its diversified agriculture with coupled aids.
