De minimis Aid in the Agricultural Sector Open
The De minimis Regulation for the agricultural sector defines thresholds for state aid that are exempt from the notification obligation to the EU Commission. It is not a funding program but a regulatory framework that protects competition among EU member states by allowing aid up to a certain de minimis limit. The regulation is valid until the end of 2027 and primarily targets undertakings engaged in primary agricultural production.
