    Abstract

    [From the Introduction]. Since the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, the agricultural sector has played a central role in developing the integral economic, commercial and structural policy of the new Foundation formulated in the Treaty of Rome. Several reasons can be put forward for this: Firstly, agricultural activity was always one of the most essential factors in European economic, social and cultural life. Secondly, the agricultural sector was, historically speaking, a major source of claims and tensions amongst European nations and countries. Thirdly, European farmers had (and still have) a strong political influence in the parliamentarian regimes in the democratic systems of Europe. Fourthly, and most importantly, in the post-war period and following the tragic experience of World War II, a strategic choice for most European countries was to rapidly achieve and guarantee food security.
