<p>The European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) is known as Pillar 1 of the Common
Agricultural Policy (CAP), composed of direct payments to farmers and market measures.
In the UK, from 2007 to 2013, expenditure under the EAGF totalled €23 billion, which
is around £17 billion in sterling at current exchange rates. These payments were made
to eligible farmers all over the UK.</p><p>Details of payments made since 2013 are
available on the CAP payments website (<a href="http://cap-payments.defra.gov.uk/Default.aspx"

by the UK Co-ordinating Body (UKCB) on behalf of the four agricultural paying agencies
in the UK.</p>
