Or is the headline France satisfied with EU deal on farm subsidies somewhat worrying? If it was “France absolutely livid about EU deal on farm subsides”, then we might be getting somewhere. However, that doesn’t seem to be something we ever see. If France was absolutely livid, there wouldn’t be a deal.

No, it’s not just you.
A good test is checking whether ten per cent of the entire EU budget (not just the CAP) still goes to French farmers or not.
TEN PER CENT! That’s even worse than I thought….
I’m sure if it was the case last year it will still be the case in 2007, because the main reason the French are satisfied is that they are basically getting out of having to change much at all)
