摘要：Direct payments are the most important expenditure of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), equivalent to more than two thirds of the EU farm policy budget in 2006. They are mostly spent for decoupled direct payments (DDPs). The EU plans to further reduce direct payments for plant and animal products and to expand the volume of DDPs which are intended to be allocatively neutral. Such a move implies that distributive aspects of CAP expenditures will become more important. This contribution looks at this issue by calculating various measures of concentration based on statistics on recipients of direct payments covering a period of 2000 to 2006. The results show that direct payments are skewed towards a small number of very large holdings in a few member states.1
