Résumé anglais The Common Market's Agricultural Policy and Third World Agriculture. Europe has a deficit in agricultural produce and thus needs to import. The difficulties of food production in developing countries, which need to export to obtain foreign currencies, result more from the poor organization of their markets than from an "ecological curse". To attain self-sufficiency in foodstuffs is not an absurd objective. Europe should treat imported products from these countries following the same logic that it applies to its own production: stable prices for fixed quantitites. However this type of organization should be made dependent upon these countries applying policies in favor of producing food crops. Eventual price increases for European consumers would be insignificant whereas they would be an appropriate means of permanently helping agriculture in these lands and would effectively help fight famine.
