[OpenSpending] CAP funds

[Stefan Wehrmeyer]

Hi Daniel,

thanks for your inquiry. We are currently in the process of gathering data from the EU member states to be used in the upcoming relaunch of FarmSubsidy.

The data collection of Spain is coordinated here:
https://github.com/openspending/farmsubsidy-scrapers/issues/26

All Spanish data we currently have can be found here:
http://data.farmsubsidy.org/ES.tar.bz2

We are still looking for funding for this project to make farm subsidies more accessible to journalists.
If you are interested in this topic, you might also be interested in this conference in May: http://www.journalismfund.eu/dhplus

Cheers
Stefan

I was surfing on the Internet trying to get info about beneficiaries of Euro grants and subsidies when I found farmsubsidies.org. There is an absolute lack of transparency in this issue -in my country, at least. So your great website gave me the idea of launching a small data project about mapping the agricultural aid in Spain.

Spanish Ministry of Agriculture has a 2010, 2011 and 2012 database which can be consulted by anybody. But... What about previous years? What if I want to compile every cent received by top100 companies since 2002 for instance? That would be really helpful.
