".
In addition to decoupling aid and production, the CAP reform has introduced a new tool: modulation. In practice, this is the option to transfer part of the appropriations, the direct payments to farmers, to rural development appropriations. It is called a ‘transfer from the first pillar to the second pillar’.
As much as twenty per cent of the funds may be transferred under voluntary modulation. The Member States may choose this modulation from an abridged menu, rather than from one imposed on them, which serves up 'direct aid' as a main course and 'rural development' as a dessert.
In reality, modulation amounts to robbing Paul the farmer to feed Peter the landscape gardener. This is a budgetary technique that is meant to disguise the shortage of appropriations with the impression that one can choose how these scarce appropriations are managed."@en1
