Question
To tThen Minister of Rural Development and Food Mr.. Lebanon
Kozani, 3.12.2021
Theme: "Acceleration of procedures for compensation of crops affected by frost in the pre-flowering stage"
Dear Mr.. Minister,
Σύμφωνα με τις διατάξεις του Δ’ κεφαλαίου του Ν. 4820/21 for ELGA, predicted:
▪ The KAT’ exception retroactive grant of the Agency, in order to be able to meet the increased needs.
▪ For the damages from the "Spring Frost 2021" the possibility
a) the maximum annual compensation limit per plot to reach 100% the insured value of the production of the damaged parcel,
b) to be granted by decision of the Board of ELGA, until October 31st 2021, advance payment to beneficiaries up to 40% of the estimated compensation, to which they are entitled, and set a down payment rate different per loss, product or area.
▪ Advance payment up to 40% of the estimated compensation for those who suffered damage to crops during the pre-flowering stage, by Special Program, after approval by the European Commission, for all period losses from 15.2.2021 until 20.4.21 not covered by the ELGA Regulation.
Further, a maximum compensation limit was set for each beneficiary, as well as reasonable compensation to the employees of the Agency, especially in areas with extensive damage such as the Kozani PE, in order to proceed to their timely recording and evaluation, and to achieve the fastest possible compensation of producers.
With an amending provision in the bill for the facilitation and modernization of the establishment and operation of livestock facilities, the above deadline for the payment of the advance 40% for damage from spring frost on pre-flowering crops, extended by 2 months, until 31.12.2021.
Because, Mr. Minister, Many of my co-producers suffered extensive crop damage during the pre-flowering stage, especially in the communities of Pyrgos and Mesovounos.
Because, The current year has been described as particularly critical for producers, since apart from the pandemic and its consequences, our farmers are affected by increases in energy and agricultural supplies, while they have suffered great damage from unprecedented weather phenomena.
Following the above, I ask you, Mr. Minister:
At what stage is the relevant approval process;
Θα προλάβουν οι παραγωγοί μας να λάβουν πριν από τις γιορτές των Χριστουγέννων τις προκαταβολές των αποζημιώσεων σύμφωνα με τις εξαιρετικά θεσπισθείσες από την κυβέρνηση σχετικές ρυθμίσεις;
