%X The paper belongs to the field of research a? International Business and European Integrationa? . Entitled a? Common Agricultural Policy Post-2013 in the View of Romania and Francea? , the paper aims to analyze the positions of both countries in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform. The objectives of this paper are to emphasize the need for a strong CAP, based on two pillars, the position of different countries or groups of states regarding CAP reform and the allocation of European funds on four axis within Rural Development policy. The paper is related to the research aiming to analyze some issues of the most debated, controversial and reformed European policy. In the same time, it continues my previous research consisting in different papers concerning CAP reforms, food security, agricultural market stability, Romanian agriculture with a view to the future reform and follows the theme of the doctoral thesis entitled a? CAP Reform and its Implications for the Romanian Agriculturea?  (coordinator prof. dr. Gheorghe Hurduzeu, Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, Faculty of International Business, doctoral studies within 2009-2012). The research method consists in collecting and analyzing data from internal and international publications, the use of statistical data in order to realize a comparative analysis between Romania and France regarding the agricultural output volume variation within a period of ten years and the distribution of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) on four axis in the period 2007-2013. This paper tries to reflect the similarities and differences between one of the oldest Member States of the European Union (EU) - France which has a modern agriculture and belongs to the conservative group and a New Member State - Romania, whose agriculture has a deep dual character and where the medium size farm is not developed enough. The results of the research consist in the fact that Romania should consider French agriculture a model and should adopt a strategy focused on setting up of producers a? organizations and of agricultural chambers, the encouraging of young farmers to settle down in the countryside, agro tourism with a view to increase the value of the Romanian village.
