The EU will spend 49bn euros (£33bn) on agriculture (subsidies) in 2005 (46% of the budget), while the OECD estimates the extra cost of food in 2003 at 55bn euros.That's 100 euro per citizen per year.~bbc
Today the EC announced plans to change the policy and lower the subsidies. Farmers aren't happy with that so let's see what happens (read: how long french farmers have to put their tractors on the highways to make them bend).
