What is EU really? EAU, means, European Agriculture Union. Why?
Because agriculture subsidies is the biggest position of the E(A)U
budget, about 50%! Right, agriculture is part of our civilisation,
is important too, but what about proportions? We have 3-5% farmers
on average in the most developt countries (in Poland still more but
the trend is decreasing), so I would understand 3-5% of the EU
budget for agriculture, but no more. There are another areas and
even more important: education, infrastructure (transport,
telecommunication), health, unemployment.

We in Europe should not protect our agriculture market against third
world countries like in Africa, because agriculture belongs to very
few areas where the poor countries could do something, produce and
export these goods. But we protect our markets, they can sell
nothing to us and we must anyway send them money because they poor.
So the taxpayer in EU must pay twice: for
poor-countries subsidies and for EU-farmers-subsidies. That’s
ridiculous. And we must pay even more for European apples for
example. When somebody in Europe will produce apples I have no
problem with that – please do this, but why with my taxpayer money?
