The differences in the budgetary support of agriculture among countries, but also among years,
hinder the process of evaluation of the harmonization with the Common Agricultural Policy
(CAP). Agricultural Policy Measures (APM) tool enables uniform classification of the
agriculture policy measures combining the pillar concept of the CAP and the OECD
classification. This paper presents the application of the APM for the Macedonian agricultural
policy for the period 2008-2014. The findings confirm the commitment for gradual
harmonization with the CAP, but also identify the needs for further adjustments of the policy
and the applicability of this database for conducting policy analysis and impact evaluation.
