Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR), through the Agency for Agricultural Payments and Intervention (APIA), informs potential beneficiaries that the launch of the Payment Application Campaign will be conducted in approximately 2 weeks.

At this time, European legislation is being modified, aiming at amending/approving Regulation (EU) No. 2115/2021 applicable to Romania. Additionally, derogations regarding compliance for GAEC 7 and GAEC 8 are expected from the European Commission (EC).

Subsequently, national legislation will be harmonized with the provisions of European legislation. Thus, considering the above-mentioned aspects, the process of submitting payment applications for the year 2024 will be possible after the approval of all necessary legislative acts.

To support farmers, APIA has made available the IPA ONLINE application through which they can make modifications/updates to the single applications submitted, for the plant sector, WITHOUT the possibility of closing or approving the applications until the specific start dates of the 2024 Campaign are established.

"The postponement of the submission deadline will not impact the advance payment campaign for the current application year, which will begin on October 16, 2024," stated APIA Director General Cornel TURCESCU. (Photo: Freepik)
