In the last two decades, the common agricultural policy (CAP) has been movingits main area from direct market interventions to direct payments. As these changeshave disclosed highly asymmetrical bargaining power of different stakeholders in theagrifood chain, the proposed legal acts aknowledge greater importance to producers'organisations. However, agreements, decisions and concerted practices ofundertakings and their associations are subject also to the competition law. Thepaper analyses the recent developments of competition law in EU with regard to theagricultural producers' organisations. As competition aspects will play a greater rolein the future CAP, more conflicts between the general (agricultural) policy support toproducers' organisations and individual provisions of competition law provisions maybe expected.
