Abstract
An analysis of free-rider behaviour on the COPA costs related to lobbying on the CAP is made by the comparison of the country’s individual shares (per farmer) of funds received from the CAP and contributions (fees) paid to the COPA. Results suggest that some of the larger beneficiaries of the CAP subsidies (Italy, Germany and France) are free-riding on less subsidized countries.
