Draft: an agriculture ministry decree would allow pig farmers to receive an advance on the 2026 animal welfare subsidy. According to the ministry, the pig sector is in crisis, about 100 medium-sized farms are on the brink of bankruptcy, and the advance would improve farmers' situation without new state money. The advance could be claimed between 1 and 15 September 2026, based mainly on the herd size certified on 30 June 2026, with payment expected in September. The summary mentions the third and fourth quarters as the period eligible for the advance, while the decree text mentions the second and third; comments could be sent until 13 August 2026.
Weight: 2/3 · substantive · Draft put out for public consultation (comments until 13 August 2026).
