Article 39
(ex Article 33 TEC)
1. The objectives of the common agricultural policy shall be:
|
(a) |
to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and by ensuring the rational development of agricultural production and the optimum utilisation of the factors of production, in particular labour; |
|
(b) |
thus to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, in particular by increasing the individual earnings of persons engaged in agriculture; |
|
(c) |
to stabilise markets; |
|
(d) |
to assure the availability of supplies; |
|
(e) |
to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices. |
2. In working out the common agricultural policy and the special methods for its application, account shall be taken of:
|
(a) |
the particular nature of agricultural activity, which results from the social structure of agriculture and from structural and natural disparities between the various agricultural regions; |
|
(b) |
the need to effect the appropriate adjustments by degrees; |
|
(c) |
the fact that in the Member States agriculture constitutes a sector closely linked with the economy as a whole. |
