European Union: EU Commission Adopts Agri-Food Support Measures

On May 4, the European Commission published several measures to support the EU food and agricultural sectors based on available support under the CAP and the CMO. These measures enable the hardest hit sectors to help re-balance supply to adjust to the shifting demand caused by the COVID-19 crisis. They include private storage aid (PSA), flexibility in the implementation of market support programs for wine, fruits and vegetables, olive oil, apiculture, and the EU’s school scheme. Additionally, the package includes an exceptional derogation from EU competition rules.
