No great surprise but France got the largest share of CAP spending among member states in the 2009 financial year. France received €9.87bn, 17 per cent of the total budget of €56.781bn. Spain took second place with €7.26bn, followed by Germany on €6.9bn, Italy on €6.08bn and the UK on €4.04bn.
Poland headed the accession states on €3.72bn, followed by Greece on €3.05bn and Romania in €2.1bn (70 per cent from Pillar 2). Malta was bottom of the pile with €14.88m, most of it from Pillar 2 funds. The combined payments to the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania amounted to €324m. The importance of the CAP to Ireland was illustrated by its receipts of €1,655.55m.

Hey,
I wonder if you could help at all. I've found your blog very useful and this particular post is the most recent assessment of CAP beneficiaries I can find anywhere! Is there any chance you can tell me the source of this information?
Thanks
It's a while since I wrote this post but I think the figures may have come from the specialist monthly subscription newsletter Agra Focus.
