Abstract

type="graphical"> The CAP comprises a well-developed system of common farm income support but a much weaker set of structural instruments which tackle the obvious problems of many small and semi-subsistence farmers (SSFs) in most parts of the European Union, especially in the New Member States which joined in the 2000s. This policy imbalance derived from both Member State reluctance to agree on a common set of instruments directed at such issues, and a general focus on full-time or main-occupation farmers, to the neglect of part-time farming and other income sources. In the CAP to date, Pillar I payments are based largely on farm size. Along with minimum eligibility criteria, this has resulted in a policy bias against small and SSFs, while residual market support measures tend to favour larger farms.
