Yes

Though I suppose I shouldn't smile about it :/

This is one of the strongest arguments in favour of the CAP which is rarely heard. Yes, a lot of money is spent on the CAP, but is this money really wasted if it helps prevent the environmental degredation of poor countries, mainly in Africa?
Also, due to the subsidies a lot of the world's poor would actually pay more for their agricultural products than they currently do. This is at our expense though.
