You are a really thoughtfull guy.
But the UK and Benelux pay disproportionate amount of taxes to fund ag subsidies and project in Spain and greece. That is why Blair (no conservative) and Chirac blew up at each other over the UKs 'rebate'.
In addition to ag subsidies france.

France has more agricultural land and farms than any other country by a huge margin, so of course France will get more agricultural subsidies than any other, assuming there is such a program. In America, Iowa gets more agricultural subsidies than Rhode Island, not because Iowa is corrupt, but because it is a vast farmland, and Rhode Island is smaller.
Spain and Greece are poor countries, and subsidies were given to them to try and bring them up.
Personally, I think the whole agricultural subsidy system has become absurd and needs to be reformed fundamentally into a final insurance system against real natural disasters or wild crop fluctuations in a single year or two. The long-term, continuous setting of production goals and then buying useless goods for disposal: this is senseless in Europe and in America too, and needs to change.
