22/07/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 22 July, the European Commission approved a Slovenian support package (€2.1 million) to help primary producers of agricultural products in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The aid was approved under the state aid temporary crisis framework adopted by the European Commission on 23 March 2022. The aid will take the form of direct grants to cover part of the additional costs incurred by eligible beneficiaries due to increases in prices of energy, animal feed, fuel and other raw materials due to the current geopolitical crisis. The aid will not exceed 35,000 euros per beneficiary and will be granted by 31 December 2022. (LC)
