Within Ec, agricultural policy conveys several different messages, according to the variety of supporting tools and financing levels, in common as well in national budget. This does not mean that the Cap has gained the position of a «superpolicy», which would have been unifying and dominant. Loack of exhaustivity and of grass root contacts prevent such an evolution. Nor does it mean that any original casting has been achieved between common, national and regional agencies, as some préfiguration of a new agricultural compromise : if the CAP driven market liberalization is a tight constraint for states, it also reinforces their roles, as shown by the increasing number of issued regional support and direct aids, all of them fully adapted to national constitutional rules and budgets procedures. This institutional stock must therefore be interpreted as a conflicting juxtaposition which reflects the instability of relationships driven by compromises and crisis.
