"Over the next two years a ground-breaking decision by the council of
ministers and the European Parliament will result in the biggest
release of information held by governments to the public and the media
since the creation of the European Union.
All 27 EU countries will disclose data revealing details of some
€100bn given in subsidies by the Eurotaxpayer every year to farmers,
food companies, industrial regeneration schemes and the fishing
industry, from the Black Sea resorts in Bulgaria and Romania to the
Canary Islands and Madeira."
this would make for a very nice mashup. if you could somehow create heat
maps of spending, you might find that most money ends up in urban areas..
i am also wondering if the nice chaps from farmsubsidy.org could use a
hand for mapping all this data.
