      abstract = {The competitiveness of the European agricultural and food  industries has been one of the key concerns of the Common  Agricultural Policy (CAP) since its creation in 1958. This  objective was reaffirmed in the proposals made for the CAP  reform post-2013. Yet, this competitiveness became fragile  during the last decade, as we can see in the increase of  the EU-27 trade balance deficit from 7 to 11 billion  between 2000 and 2009. In France, agricultural production  has been stagnating for 15 years, productivity has failed  to increase and imports of food and agricultural produce  are progressing more rapidly than exports.},
