Agricultural markets: should we promote the development of large, homogenous agricultural areas, or a full free-trade area? Can they really provide regional or global public goods?
Could a large, Euro-Mediterranean free trade area facilitate the development of an agricultural community of interests, with trade preferences and standards, an area integrating the Balkans and Turkey and reinforcing the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership?
An agricultural cooperation policy for the Union and its Member States: how could neighbouring regions be included? What funding?
Are sustainable agriculture development objectives and standards WTO-compatible?
Investment, public goods and trade: how to reconcile free trade with regional incentives for sustainable agriculture? Towards new, global pacts on investment bank intervention? What is the outlook for large, emerging agricultural markets?
