The present Decree establishes the technical details of application as well as the procedure for granting state financial (de minimis) aid to agricultural undertakings, in compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 1535/2007. The aid aims at supporting producers of agricultural products in difficulty. The soaring prices of forages in the market, observed in 2012, in combination with the financial crisis of the country, have as a direct consequence the significant increase of all costs in the livestock farming sector and have created a stifling economic environment for the viability of this sector. Therefore the beneficiaries of state aid shall be those farmers actively engaged in the primary production of agricultural products, as prescribed in paragraph 2, article 2 of this Decree. More specifically, the sectors involved are pig and poultry farming, meat and milk production.
