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
