Abstract: For the last several decades in the majority of the countries of the European Union the structure of the programs focused on agriculture has considerably changed. Need of support of rural areas in time of a depression of the 1930th years and aspiration to growth of agricultural production after World War II was an initial incentive for formation of these programs. In the 21st century of requirement of agriculture have radically changed, and there was a need for revision of agricultural policy which rather often was exposed to criticism for its high cost and low efficiency. Studying of lobbyist activity of the social and economic organizations is important at assessment of their influence on uniform agricultural policy. Lobbyist groups have rather wide range of "access points" to institutional structures of the EU. Based on "the theory of access", it is possible to offer a number of concrete hypotheses of access for various groups of interests in the multilevel system of the EU.
