16-Feb-2010 (16 years 3 months 25 days ago)The European Commission authorised a Belgian scheme with a budget of €2.73 million which aims at supporting farmers in Flanders who encounter difficulties as a result of the current economic crisis. Aid under this scheme can be granted until 31 December 2010 and will take the form of interest subsidies and guarantees.
The scheme is open to farmers in all sub-sectors of primary agricultural production, provided they were not already in difficulty on 1 July 2008 (i.e. before the beginning of the crisis). It is limited in time until 31 December 2010 and complements other crisis measures already put in place by the Flemish authorities in application of the Temporary Crisis Framework.
