Within its research on the agricultural policy changes in Poland, the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics (IERiGZ) in Warsaw, Poland, is conducting a programme aiming at identifying the possibilities to design a national agricultural policy compliant with the CAP requirements. In order to successfully design the best suitable policy, a specific attention is paid on experiences and lessons from other Member States. For that purpose, IERiGZ asked experts from some Member States to provide relevant expertises targeting the national options chosen to implement the CAP (including rural development policy), considering not only the means but also financing resources and procedures to achieve the national agricultural goals. The present document finds its roots within this scope and thus presents the French way EU agricultural policies have been, are, and will be, implemented. For a better understanding a review of the CAP foundations is firstly provided in order to address the historic issues of the evolution of European agricultural policies. Then, main agricultural highlights of the French situation are briefly depicted, in order to better frame the two head points that are the French translation of markets policy on the one hand and of rural development on the other hand. Both issues are policy-oriented and sketches of national underlying strategies are given whenever the available data were relevant enough.
