Only five countries have not submitted plans for agricultural subsidies, including Slovakia – euractiv.sk
Strategic plans for the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy for 2023-2027 have already been submitted by 22 EU Member States.
This follows from the European Commission’s response to the EURACTIV Slovakia portal on its official Twitter channel, which is focused on agriculture.
Slovakia is among the last five countries that have not submitted their strategic plan for agricultural subsidies for the years 2023 to 2027 to the European Commission.
The countries originally had plans to plan by the end of 2021. Later, the agricultural sector announced that it would hand it over by the end of January 🤷♂️👨🌾 https://t.co/JfLPLMk6my

Member States originally had to submit their plans to use the new agricultural subsidies by the end of 2021. Only eight of them succeeded, so the Commission gave the remaining countries more time to prepare it. In the new year, more were gradually added and by the end of January, the Commission had received 22 national strategic plans.
The Commission has also recently set up a special websitewhere it gradually publishes the entire strategic plans of individual countries.
Agroresort present at the beginning of the year informed that he will send the document to Brussels by the end of the month. However, the Commission’s reactions show that the ministry did not meet this deadline either.
EU Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski calls on Member States to transmit the document as soon as possible so that the process is approved fair. This is so that the Commission has the same time to evaluate all the plans and thus look at the “double standard”.
On February 5, the ministry included it in an interdepartmental comment procedure. He received more than 500 comments in five days.
