Objective The policy changes introduced by the CAP reform 1992 are more fundamental and drastic than ever before. New policy instruments have been introduced. Different types of environmental policies have gained rising importance in the CAP and are supplemented by national and regional programmes enlarging the complexity of possible impacts.The economic, social and environmental impacts of the CAP and its reform need to be monitored and analysed. This will improve the basis for the design of future policy measures and decisions of EU. Computer aided models can be used to structure and exploit the information available and make operational use of it.In the proposed project the Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact Model (CAPRIModel) will be developed by 5 partners of different Member States. The CAPRI-Model is a regionalized agricultural and environmental sector model that will have an enlarged capacity compared to all other models so far in use in the EU. It will be able to model complex policy scenarios (set-aside-policies, quota regulations, transfer payments, global as well as regional environmental policies). The model will be applied to monitor the economic, social and environmental impacts of the CAP reform 1992 and to simulate the impacts of possible future reform steps. A choice of alternative policy scenarios will be offered.The relevance of the scenarios will be assured by closed contact to DG VI and workshops under the additional participation of EU-politicians and EU-researchers.The CAPRI-Model will focus an the NUTS-2 regional level and will be based on a Positive (Non-linear) Programming approach. The consistency and comparability of the regional data sets can be assured most effectively by "top-down" disaggregation procedures, while "bottomup" information feedback from the European partners and their information network in the different Member States is essential for data completion, plausibility checks and adequate interpretation of model results.The CAPRI-Model will be based on experience that has been gathered in Germany by the RAUMIS-Model that covers entire Germany and is disaggregated down to NUTS-3 level (431 regions). This model proves the feasibility and policy oriented usefulness of such a comprising and ambitious modelling approach. Without the simultaneous and joint effort of researches from different parts of the EU this approach will never be feasible. Only the joint European approach can assure reliable "bottom up" streams of information and adequate region specific interpretations of CAPRI modelling results.
