In the 1970s, nearly 70% of the EU budget was spent on agriculture.

The continuing application of the so-called historical principle in respect of support for agriculture – even after the expansion of the EU – has brought considerable disproportion to European economic policy.

This idea of ‘catching the eye’ of the President is clearly entirely subjective, as the President has an eye, but he does not have a wide and multi-faceted eye like a reptile’s, meaning that those who catch his eye are those who catch his eye; the secretarial staff can help a great deal with t... | null |
