Brussels Temporarily Suspended Part of Subsidies to Agrofert Companies
The European Commission temporarily suspended reimbursement of part of subsidies to companies from the Agrofert holding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development for the second quarter of this year. The State Agricultural Intervention Fund stated that Brussels is also further investigating possible conflicts of interest. According to iRozhlas, the measure affects approximately 77 million crowns. forum24.cz ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
The suspension concerns payments that were to be directed to Agrofert companies from European agricultural sources. The information appeared on Monday afternoon and several Czech media outlets adopted it with reference to the Commission's decision. It is not yet known whether, after reviewing the rules and accounts, the Commission will pay out the money in full, or part of the sum will remain blocked. The published data speaks only of a temporary measure, not a final decision. denik.cz ↗ irozhlas.cz ↗
Agrofert is among the largest agricultural and food groups in the region and the question of subsidies has long been associated with public debate about conflicts of interest. Further developments will depend on the results of the investigation and on whether the Commission will maintain the restriction only to this period, or will proceed to further financial adjustments. svet.sme.sk ↗ Standard.sk ↗
