The European Parliament and the EU Council failed to reach a final agreement on the regulation on the Single Market Programme on Wednesday 28 October due to two issues: the question of national reference laboratories and the question of co-financing.
The negotiations are moving towards a 50% cofinancing rate for eligible actions to implement emergency veterinary and phytosanitary measures, which we are told could be increased to 75%, or even 100% in some cases. But the issue is still open.
