Farmsubsidy.org recently published the first issue of its quarterly newsletter focused on farm subsidies under the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The inaugural issue cited Sweden as being the most transparent country in the EU for, among other things, its willingness to provide extensive farm subsidy data in an easy to use format.
 
Farmsubsidy.org is a network of researchers and journalists who use access to information legislation to obtain data relating to payments and recipients of farm subsidies in the EU. Although it has made significant gains in recent years, data from many EU Member States are still incomplete, untimely or difficult to use.
 
Based on its experiences, Farmsubsidy.org ranks Slovenia and Denmark second and third in its transparency rankings. At the bottom of the list are Austria, Cyprus, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta, Bulgaria and Romania, all of which received a 0% score.
