This article focuses on the potential consequences of an extension of the Common Agricultural Policy with respect to agricultural production in the Central and East European countries (CEECs). It reviews the evidence of recent attempts to quantify the potential impacts of accession on production levels in the CEECs. It also takes into account results from previous studies in order to analyze the importance of structural constraints can have to the capacity of the CEECs' agricultural sectors to respond to supply incentives under accession to the EU, and to examine some research questions that are still unanswered in relation to the supply potential of the CEECs. Finally, some conclusions and policy recommendations are presented.
