• Investment projects for milling, bakery, pastry through Submeasure 4.2 and GBER.
Between May and July 2017, several investment projects will be launched that will target the following fields of activity:
– agricultural (milling, storage of agricultural raw materials, different types of processing) - Submeasure 4.2 was launched in the May - June period. Support for investments in the processing/marketing of agricultural products.
- generically non-agricultural activities (food industry - bakery, pastry, pasta, sugary products, food for special nutritional uses) - the launch of the State Aid Scheme is announced, starting from July GBER – Stimulating regional development by making investments for the processing and marketing of agricultural products in order to obtain non-agricultural products.
Funding for projects
For both financing measures, the non-reimbursable public support rate will be 50% of the total eligible expenses for SMEs and producer groups/cooperatives and 40% for large enterprises and will not exceed:
– 1.000.000 euros/project for SMEs, in the case of projects that do not involve investments that will lead to an integrated food chain;
– 1.500.000 euros/project for large enterprises, for projects that do not involve investments that will lead to an integrated food chain;
– 2.500.000 euros/project for investments that lead to an integrated food chain (regardless of the type of applicant), as well as for associative forms (cooperatives and producer groups) in the case of projects that do not involve investments that will lead to a food chain integrated.
The method of carrying out a non-reimbursable financing project varies depending on the design theme, but it can be generalized, considering the fact that, in principle, almost all projects include either constructions/modernization of buildings, or purchases of machines/technological equipment and means of transport, or both types of investment.
A project developed correctly from all points of view (technical, financial, administrative), well documented, substantiated, logical and coherent, in principle does not present problems regarding eligibility. For the beneficiaries, attracting funds for investments leads to the relief of important expenses that should otherwise be borne from own funds, especially for projects that include constructions and installations and which, as a rule, involve more important values.
We specify the fact that there is no specific legislation that differentiates between building with own funds or with non-reimbursable funds, in the sense that, in both situations, the necessary documents are the same.
It is true, however, that with non-reimbursable funds, exactly what was proposed in the project documentation must be achieved, but even here there are situations provided by the legislation in force, in which changes to the technical solution, additions to works, quantities can be made , machinery/equipment etc.
And, especially for those who did not benefit from non-refundable funds, it is an opportunity to carry out an investment project, noting that, although it is not simple to implement and complete it, the final financial satisfaction compensates for any effort made.
