They allow the European Commission to run a temporary financial assistance (maximum 12 months) for those sectors of agriculture that have undergone a "dramatic deterioration of production and market conditions." This is the first use of such funds with the reform of the "Common agricultural policy", held in 2013.
The Commission's decision applies to farms from regions with high risk of disease, number of animals on which between 1 June and 30 July 2017 not exceed 50 heads. Because of the small size and resources, these households are the most likely termination of activities. The assistance will be allocated to compensation for a maximum of 10 thousand pigs and 171 654 pigs. Its size is calculated from a fixed price per animal, and to offset short-term loss in revenue from production. For each pig breeders will be able to get 33 Euro per pig 52 euros.
