D5.3. Position paper on the coherence of policy frameworks

D5.3. will use the Delphi method to outline the future EU policy framework regarding agricultural trade and SDGs. The task starts with constructing the set-up from a number of novel policy instruments as alternatives for current policy tools for Delphi process. Next, the 1st round Delphi is organised as an online survey for wider expert panel, consisting of experts and stakeholders from three levels: EU, regional (Africa and Asia), and the case study countries. Results are analysed in order to prepare the feedback material and questions for the second round. A 2nd round Delphi is organised as in-depth interviews in order to gain favouring and opposing arguments, major obstacles and critical success factors of a particular policy renewal. Respondents represent the same areas as in the first round and are chosen among the first-round respondents. Respondents’ views are especially sought on the desirability, feasibility and sustainability impacts of the asked new policy instruments. Results will be drafted as a position paper, and a consensus meeting with a carefully selected group of experts/stakeholders from all studied levels will be organised. The position paper will offer steps for the transition paths in order to develop trade relations in sustainable and fair ways.
