“Delays are due to the implementation of a new, rigorous system of controls imposed by the European Commission”
Payments for old organic in agriculture and beekeeping to farmers and farmers are expected to begin next week, as the Minister of Rural Development and Food said, Costas Tsiaras In interviews with Open, Action24 and Real FM radio station.
Subsequently, the payment of money for feedbacks for breeders “who were forced to keep their animals in their farms because of the blessing”, the payment for the fertile materials, which relate to “farm farms, which have not been farmed”, were followed by Daniel.
In addition, as the Minister of Rural Development and Food pointed out, “it will also be attempted to pay compensation for the killed animals due to blessing, which – as he noted -” is a significant relief for a large number of breeders “.
He pointed out that the delays are due to the implementation of a new, rigorous system of controls imposed by the European Commission, in order to fully ensure the legality and transparency of payments by stressing that the government “is forced to follow all that will help us to go OPEKEPE at another time, in a time of transparency”.
Mr Tsiaras emphasized, the incorporation of actual cross -checks before each payment “is not an easy process, as it takes specialization and time, since we have dozens of different payments from OPEKEPE” noting that the European Commission now requires the completion of these audits “before each payment” And breeders are going through a difficult time because payments have been stopped for some months. But I would like to assure them that this is to keep the flow of European money alive and not risk the country’s ability to receive subsidies from Europe. “
Concerning Measure 23, Mr Tsiaras stressed that “we are in the process of examining the objections and I would like to believe that the proposal will go complete by the end of the other week in order to follow the checks process and make the payment”.
Concerning the basic aid, he noted that the aim is “to get the payment of basic aid in November, which will also support ELGA’s payments, as the basic withholding in favor of ELGA is paid by the basic aid. All of these payments have a suffocating timetable – they need to be made within the year, “he said.
At the same time, Mr Tsiaras pointed out that the government assumes the responsibility of it, but is realizing a timeless pathogenesis. “I will not deny the responsibility that the government may have, but I will not accept that this is not a timeless weakness with inter -party responsibility. It is the first time that a great effort has been made to clear OPECEPE’s issues and this is done by this government. “
For the sheep and goats, Mr Tsiaras said that the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning has allocated more than 150 veterinarians in collaboration with the Regions, and was also requested to reinforce policing for the implementation of bio -healing measures.
“We have asked the Ministry of Citizen Protection to be at another level from now on. We have also requested that the judicial authorities be dealing with issues related to non -compliance with security terms. ” The minister concluded with the pointing that everyone’s cooperation is necessary. “If we do not work together and do not find ourselves on the same side, we will not be able to deal with the disease,” he said.
