Abstract
This paper considers community support for agriculture in EU member states. First, the existing distribution system was studied followed by the summary of the three main problem areas around the system (inequality, hindering productivity and sustainability). It was found that CAP subsidies do not enhance productivity, furthermore, the distribution system can only be considered unequal if we disregard that the old and the new member states belong to different income level groups. If income level and capital stock are considered, then on average, twice as much subsidy for old member states might be justifiable.
