The study provides evidence-based analysis of information measures implemented under the CAP by DG AGRI. The research employed a survey of 2 400 respondents from 27 MSs; 100 interviews with CAP stakeholders; desk research; content analysis (of both DG AGRI publications and disinformation activities directed against the CAP); and a comparative analysis of communication activities conducted by other Directorates-General. Key conclusions from the study indicate a high effectiveness of communication activities undertaken by DG AGRI, as set out in the External Communication Strategy for the CAP 2021–2025. Farmers and other CAP beneficiaries possess essential information about the policy, can ob..

The Study of the Information Measures on the Common Agricultural Policy provided evidence-based analysis of information measures implemented under the CAP by DG AGRI. The main goal of the study was to assess the performance of the measures and provide lessons learned, as well as to elaborate suggestions and inspirations for future work, including support in drafting the Commission Report to the EP and Council on the implementation of information measures and informing DG AGRI´s next communication strategy for 2026-2030. The Study Questions (SQs) were designed to evaluate the extent of the implementation of the communication strategy. SQ1: To what extent have the information measures been ef..

Business Model analyses for the essential Industrial Value Chains of advanced biofuels indicate that financial support will be required to close the gap between the biofuels’ Levelized Cost of Production and the market price of their fossil fuel counterparts, even when considering the impact of EU Allowances. The required financial support is expected to vary. In 2025–2030 hydrotreatment of lipids is assessed to have a relatively lower financial support requirement. In 2030–2040, methanation from biogenic CO₂ and green H₂ would probably not require additional support only for an extremely low price of hydrogen (2.3 €/kg hydrogen)

Development of essential Industrial Value Chains (IVC) for advanced biofuels, including technical, financial, business, and feedstock-related aspects, aimed at achieving the defined EU targets for 2030, the mid-term target for 2040, and the long-term target for 2050

Biofuels have a vital role to play in reducing emissions in transport if an EU coordinated approach for capacity development of essential industrial value chains of advanced biofuels, needed to achieve the EU targets for 2030,2040, and 2050, is employed. Two main categories of financing support are identified as necessary: (a) for industrial production development, linked to the volumes of biofuels produced and (b) for feedstock supply mobilization, linked to feedstock supply volumes. For 2030, the corresponding financing needs are estimated at €3,849 – 7,499 million per year for industrial installations and €700 – 1,245 million per year for farmers/collectors
