Mothers and adopting mothers who receive aid for children less than one year old and families of children with disabilities will from now on be able to receive subsidies under the Charity programme. So far, the programme only assisted people who receive subsidies for heating.

The losses to Bulgarian vegetable producers as a result of the E. coli crisis amount to 2 562 747 euro. Farmers will be compensated in two directions. The first applies to those who have withdrawn harvested and unsold quantities of vegetables from the market, and the second – to those who did not harvest their crops.

The applications were under Measure 214: Agri-environment payments, directions “High nature value farmlands” (HNV), “Pastoralism” and “Rare local breeds.” The total amount of the approved subsidy is 3 252 155, 55 leva.

State Fund Agriculture finalised the evaluation of 263 applications from Campaign 2010 under Measure 214: Agro-ecological payments, direction “Organic plant-growing.” The subsidies are to the total amount of 2 026 074.17 leva. Tomorrow they will be in the bank accounts of beneficiaries.

A total of 114 applications, to the proposed amount of over 14 863 000 euro, were submitted under the National programme for development of the vineyard sector during financial year 2010 – 2011. The application deadline, which was initially in April, was extended twice – and set to July 1 this year. The budget set aside for Bulgaria for this period is 22 022 000 euro.
