Member State websites providing information on beneficiaries of CAP payments (shared management)

Important notice

In its judgment in Joined Cases C-92/09 and 93/09 concerning the obligation to publish information on the beneficiaries of European agricultural funds, the Court of Justice of the European Union concluded that publishing personal data relating to natural persons without drawing a distinction based on relevant criteria such as the periods during which those persons have received such aid, or the frequency or nature and amount thereof, is not proportionate. Consequently, the Court declared that the relevant provisions are invalid.

For reasons of transparency and pending the adoption by Parliament and Council of new rules taking account of the objections expressed by the Court, Regulation (EC) No 259/2008 has therefore been amended limiting the obligation to publish information on the beneficiaries of CAP payments to legal persons.
