      abstract = {The studies of performance and production efficiency have  ignored additional products of most transformation  processes classified as undesirable outputs. Without the  inclusion of the undesirable outputs, the efficiency  measurement is a purely technical measure, and it does not  account for the interaction of the system with the  environment and the impact of policy decisions on the  system. Moreover, there are technological dependencies  between the desirable and the undesirable outputs which  have to be included in the analytical tools used to measure  efficiency. 
The relationships between the desirable and  the undesirable outputs motivate the exploration of new  areas of the measurement of efficiency to incorporate  policy decisions and address new issues. This research  develops a formulation that uses goal programming in  conjunction with Data Envelopment analysis – known as GoDEA  approach – to deal with the conflict between the desirable  and the undesirable outputs. This approach is used to  assess the environment impact of the Agenda 2000 and the  2003 Common Agricultural Policy reform on agricultural  production in fifteen European countries. 
Model results  show that the 2003 CAP reform strengthens environmental  policies and has a better performance than the Agenda 2000  for some European countries. The North and Central European  countries have been dealing better with environmental  issues than the Mediterranean countries.},
