The second cycle is implemented as a continuation of the first, during which approximately 40 million euros have already been granted to more than 19,000 agricultural holdings and livestock units that applied for the granting of first aid through the arogi.gov.gr platform and were cross-referenced with the data of declaration of damage to ELGA.
During the second cycle, interested parties will have the opportunity through the first aid platform, arogi.gov.gr, to submit their (revised or new) request in case they judge that they have very serious or very serious damage to equipment , raw materials, stored goods, damaged vehicles and land capital.
Specifically, in addition to the first aid they have received to date, the beneficiary farmers will be able to submit a request for:
- Additional first aid of 5,000 euros in cases where they judge that they have suffered very serious damage to the items included in the state aid, with the first aid amounting to a total of 7,000 euros.
- Additional first aid of 10,000 euros in cases where they judge that they have suffered very serious damage to the items included in the state aid, with the first aid amounting to a total of 12,000 euros.
Accordingly, livestock units will be able to submit a relevant request for additional first aid of 10,000 euros in cases where they consider that they have suffered very serious damage to the items included in the state aid.
