In a statement, the head of the ministry recalled that in the 2014-2020 EU budget cycle, a reserve was set up at EU level to deal with serious crises affecting agricultural production or sales. This resource is created each year by the European Union by withholding part of the direct aid, the so-called financial discipline mechanism. (MTI)
