“…There has been growing recognition of the ambiguity of the availability of CAP/CARPE funds for farmers in candidate countries such as Hungary.

Hungarian agriculture experienced a particularly difficult period in the 1990s. In addition to problems related to changes in proprietorship, difficulties emerged in the field of production, foreign trade and the institutional system. The difficulties in agriculture also stimulated social tensions and further regional disparities to the disadvantage of agricultural areas. The transitional period has coincided with the EU accession negotiations and preparations for enlargement. After a brief discussion of the general situation and dilemmas in Hungarian agriculture, the paper seeks to summarize the difficulties of the agricultural sector in detail, as revealed during SAPARD (Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development) programming at the micro-regional scale in two study areas.

The political dynamics were thus about a positive benefit being denied to the candidates by the Union, rather than a negative demand being imposed on them.…”

“…Furthermore, in various academic writings Turkey's candidacy is seen as a mistake or at least as an early attempt and sometimes completely neglected (e.g. Inotai, 2000;Smith, 2000;Wessels, 2001;Zielonka, 2001). 9 This official document is prepared by the Turkish Republic and submitted to the EU.…”
