Taking into account the major trends concerning trade and other

developments and key driving elements of agricultural and food
markets in the EU Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries in
the perspective of the EU enlargement as well as for Neighbourhood
and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, e.g.
Russian Federation, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
Objectives, policy relevance
and content of workshop
The workshop will focus on:
(1) issues related to the adaptation and use of modelling tools
applied for analysis of production and market outlook as well as
policy impact issues;
(2) the results of such models and other expertise analysing the
impact of possible EU enlargements on the main agricultural markets
of Candidate Countries, the EU and neighbourhood countries.
The workshop will be complemented by one day training on the use
of modelling tools.
