Trade liberalisation and CAP reform in the EU. A report for Open Europe

To coincide with the launch of the UK think tank Open Europe, it commissioned a study by Oxford Economic Forecasting (OEF), which analyses the potential benefits of removing the EU’s trade barriers and reforming the Common Agricultural Policy. The report demonstrates that economic liberalisation would benefit the EU and the developing world. A short factsheet summarising the findings is also available.
A separate report examines the implications of OEF’s findings: what strategy should supporters of trade reform advocate? And why have attempts at reform had so little impact to date? What lessons should we learn?
