The CAP budget has been falling as a proportion of the total EU budget
for many years, as European collaboration has steadily extended into
other areas. The crops initially supported by the CAP reflected the
climates of the six founding members (France, Germany, Italy and the
Benelux countries). Ireland and Greece on the other hand received a
share of subsidies that was much larger than their share of EU
agricultural output - twice as large in Ireland's case. Critics argue
that the CAP costs too much and benefits relatively few people. Farmers
and their employees often work very long hours for little money.
Most of the CAP money goes to the biggest farmers - large agribusinesses
and hereditary landowners. Ireland and Greece on the other hand received
a share of subsidies that was much larger than their share of EU
agricultural output - twice as large in Ireland's case. In the first
half of 2005, the UK was demanding guarantees of reduced farm spending
before it would agree to cuts in its rebate. However, this rate is
slowly rising and will reach equality in 2013. How is the money spent?

The importance of farming to the national economy varies from one EU
country to another.
