The direction of changes in direct payments for agriculture of the European Union member states

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the changes in the functioning of direct payments with special emphasis on the current effects of this instrument and the CAP reform of 2013. The author presents solutions adopted by the European Commission indicating their advantages and disadvantages. In the conclusions the author attempts to determine further improvements in the system of direct payments. Doubtful are additional payments to certain plants and animals which may help financially, but which are part of the argumentation about unnecessary complication of the system. However, given the redistributive aspect of the first pillar, the existence of additional payments is financial support for a particular group of farmers. The study is based on the documents of the European Commission, the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics National Research Institute.
