The upper limit of the funds allocated for RDP Forestry Measures 223 and 226 to be removed announced Mrs. Valentina Marinova, Executive Secretary of the Forestry Agency in Razlog. Until now, the ceiling on these measures was BGN 300 thousand
The data show that the absorption under both measures is between 1 and 2% due to the ceiling, as well as to some difficulties experienced by beneficiaries during the application period. That is why changes are foreseen to be made in order to facilitate the beneficiaries. Farmers and municipalities are able to apply under both measures. Notification is also adopted, under which from the beginning of 2012 forest owners will be able to apply and receive subsidies.
