Summary/Abstract: For the new member States part of the European Union, as a consequence of the enlargement in 2004 and in 2007, financial subsidies allocated by the Common Agricultural Policy have been pivotal in reducing socio-economic marginalization on rural areas. Bulgaria is characterized by lots of small rural villages and modest plots of lands able to produce just enough commodities and food for the family farms. The purpose of this paper was to assess by a quantitative methodology the impact of payments and other financial supports allocated by the CAP on the level of farm net income in a sample of farms part of Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) database from 2007 to 2013. Findings have emphasized the positive effect of payments disbursed by the first and second pillar of the CAP. Financial aids towards farms placed in disadvantaged rural areas have had no effect to the income of Bulgarian farmers.
