The next stage was Britain s accession to the European Economic Community [EEC, commonly known then as the Common Market, and now known as the European Union (EU)], which meant that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) applied. The policy in the form then current sought to penalise the use of food crops from outside the EEC when the crop could be produced inside the EEC.

Despite the above the use of milk powder in biscuits is reducing in the EU. The reason is the price of milk powder, which is dictated by the common agricultural policy. Some old recipes were formulated when milk powder was relatively inexpensive and, hence, had more milk powder than was needed. These recipes were the first to have their milk powder content reduced. 

In Europe, eutrophication is one of the main water pollution problems, which originates partially from the past European common agricultural policy. The intensive cultivation of land demanded the use of large amounts of fertilizers in a relatively small total land area. Although the situation has improved in the last few years with the phosphorus levels in water being decreased, the presence of nitrates in the aquatic environment is still a problem.

In 1993, the European Union (EU) began reforming its Common Agricultural Policy, which resulted in a decline in their floor price for wheat. The EU also set the floor price of com at a level higher than that of wheat, and put a production quota on potato starch, thereby making wheat the most profitable raw material for manufacturing starch. As a result, EU manufacturers embarked on an expansion of wheat starch... 

This gives rise to a permanent conflict in Europe between the starch manufacturers on the one hand and the sugar and beet refiners on the other, a conflict that the EEC Commission with its Common Agricultural Policy of quotas and subsidies has been unable to settle. The only point of agreement between the two parties is the price which they demand for their production from downstream Community industries, a price that is far higher than world rates.

It was the first of these developments that led to an attempt to standardise what was meant by organic farming and - most importantly - what was meant by organic food . The second development led to the introduction of support programmes in some countries (Denmark, Germany) in the late 1980s and in the EU as part of the 1992 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform.
