[net.politics] The E.E.C.

An article that I read recently was talking about some of the
recent meetings of the E.E.C. (Common Market).  It said that the
existence of the E.E.C. had enabled Europe (Western Europe) to feed
itself, but that now the E.E.C. countries were experiencing
problems which sound like the problems that the U.S. has with 
price-supports and farm subsidies.  

Is it true that (what I understand as) removal of trade barriers
made such a change of food production possible?  Is it something
else about the E.E.C. that made it possible?  Is the article wrong?
