Shultz II (3) Abstract: The qualitative impacts of European Union (EU) enlargement on intervention prices, variable import levies, and export restitution payments for cereal under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are analyzed using a partial equilibrium framework for EU cereal crops. The welfare implications are developed for both a net exporter and net importer. Consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare are compared and contrasted for the EU and the new entrant, both before and after enlargement. Dans le present article, les repercussions qualitatives de l'elargissement de l'UE sur les prix d'intervention, les prelevements variables a l'importation et les paiements de restitution a l'exportation des cereales dans le cadre de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) sont analyses a l'aide d'un modele d'equilibre partiel pour les cultures cerealieres de l'UE. Les repercussions sur le bien-etre sont elaborees dans le cas d'un exportateur net et d'un importateur net. Le surplus des consommateurs, le surplus des producteurs, les recettes publiques et le bien-etre total sont compares pour l'UE et le nouveau venu, et ce, avant et apres l'elargissement de l'UE.
