The study “Mapping and analysis of the implementation of the CAP” has three main objectives: (1) to map the implementation of the CAP by the 28 Member States, focusing on their implementation choices, the motivation for these choices and the importance attached to the three CAP general objectives; (2) to develop a typology for grouping Member States according to these choices; and (3) to answer the evaluation questions related to relevance, coherence, conditions for enabling effectiveness, administrative burden and contribution to the EU2020 strategy.
