Geographic Distribution of CAP subsidies in the Netherlands
Information: Tia Hermans
Each year the Netherlands is allocated money from the Common Agricultural Policy budget by the European Union. Until recently, most of that money was linked to the volume of production. In 2003, the EU decided to sever this linkage and replace it with single farm payments. On 1 January 2006, the Netherlands introduced a new scheme in which farm subsidies are allocated on the basis of entitlements claimed by individual farmers in the reference period 2000-2002. However, other ways of allocating the subsidies are also possible. This study identifies how variations of the current scheme will lead to geographic and sectoral shifts in the allocation of subsidies.
