Abstract
Europe, with Russia included, comprises 36 countries and in 1997 had approximately 720 million inhabitants. The region covers extremely diverse climates, soils, and eating habits and produces a wide range of grain legumes. This paper will focus on the 15 countries (the EU 15) of the western part of Europe which form the European Union (EU) a group with a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It represents 370 million inhabitants and 3.2 million km2. Before Austria, Sweden and Finland joined in 1995 there was the EU 12.
