Summary of the 182nd mBank-CASE Seminar
The seminar discussed the challenges and opportunities related to the integration of Ukrainian agriculture into the European market, a process that became particularly important after Ukraine started its EU accession process. Both Polish and Ukrainian agriculture share common traits, such as high food self-sufficiency levels and significant economic importance. However, there are notable differences—Ukraine has far larger agricultural resources, though its agricultural sector is underfunded, while Poland has made considerable progress due to EU support. A key concern is the risk of excessive competition between countries, which could harm European farmers. Experts emphasized that the development of Ukrainian agriculture should be based on synergy, and the accession process will require long-term negotiations and transitional periods. Differences in export structures were also discussed—Ukraine focuses on agricultural raw materials like grains and oils, while Polish exports are more diversified. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will need to be reformed to support the agricultural sectors of both countries in a sustainable way, considering new challenges and promoting environmentally friendly practices.

My CASE
We are pleased to present you the book "MY CASE" published on the occasion of our 30th anniversary. The book is a collection of texts authored by individuals who have been involved with CASE throughout its 30-year history or for shorter periods of time, but for whom the Foundation has played an important role in their personal development. They are economists-researchers, experts, staff, founders, Management Board members and Supervisory Council members. This is why the title "MY CASE" perfectly captures the nature of the book. In their memories, written in Polish or English, the authors describe CASE as the institution and how they remember it throughout its 30 years of existence. The book, which was edited by Ewa Balcerowicz, consists of 9 chapters in which the history of CASE is presented chronologically. Thanks to that along with the authors’ memories we can learn about how CASE has changed since 1991 when it was founded.
