BF> And you know that exactly how?
 
Every government has a budget. It's in-there.
 
You can also discover that kind of subsidies in EU-budgets, sometimes in plain text.
 
Sometimes it's a clear subsidy, sometimes it's a hidden-one by
tax-deductions. It takes some searching to find it.
 
Unfortunately a number of EU/EC-documents are not available for free, but
they are freely available.
 
Same with the publications of the EEA in Copenhagen (European Environmental
Agency). For example they recently released a document called
"Europe's Environment - The Fourth Assessment". Freely available
at a cost of 50 Euro.
 
Every so many years there is such an assessment as a follow-up of the 1991
Dobris-conference (thatone's Google-able), where I was part of the national
delegation. That, in part, answers your stement/question below.

BF> Of course, you always knows the best.
 
I will try to make you feel less bad about that in future. May I suggest
some "Wortegemsen"? [http://www.wortegemsen.be tere is an English
