The new support scheme will complement the first program of compensation for this sector, announced on August 18, which was for 125 million euros. September 10 Commission suspended that scheme, because the value of the initial applications for compensation exceeded the amount allocated to them.
In new program of compensation – as before – to be paid for the withdrawal from the market of some perishable fruits and vegetables listed in the Annex to the Regulation. This time, however, farmers from 12 countries of the EU, which exported to Russia, most will be able to get support only to a certain limit production, withdrawn from the market as a result of the embargo.
These limits established on the basis of the average volume of exports to Russia in the period from September to December in the last three years, and after deducting the volume of production, which has already been declared in the preliminary findings in the first compensation scheme.
Because 85 percent. all the preliminary conclusions of the first program of support came from the Polish, the second program of Polish farmers will benefit very little. The project foresaw the EC limit for Polish at 17 thousand. tons of apples and pears.
The biggest compensation can count those who withdraw their products from the market, passing them for free distribution (eg. schools or for the poorest). The lower support is in the case of non-harvesting, green harvesting and composting. Slightly more accessible, farmers gathered in the producers’ organizations (75 per cent. Specific rates for the withdrawal from the market in a form other than free distribution, while farmers receive 50 percent. This rate.)
The new compensation program will comprise four groups of products: apples and pears (up to 181 thousand. tons); citrus fruits, including oranges, mandarins and clementines (96 thousand. tons); other vegetables, including carrots, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes (44.3 thousand. tons), kiwi, plums and grapes (total 76.8 thousand. tons). After the compensation will not be able to have reported the producers of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms and berries.
