Multe dell’UE in Grecia € 400 milioni rispetto alla debacle degli aiuti agricoli

>###Brussels imposes massive fine after finding systemic failings in Greece’s management of farm subsidies from 2016 to 2023.

>The European Commission has hit Greece with a fine of nearly €400 million for mismanaging EU farm funding and inadequate controls.

>Brussels has ordered Athens [to forfeit €392.2 million](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:L_202501147) in EU funding due to systemic failings in its management of EU farm subsidies between 2016 and 2023. The Greek agency responsible for overseeing EU farm payments is also accused of making payments without sufficient checks or on-site inspections.

>The fine follows a mammoth Greek farm fraud scandal that is being probed by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and was [the subject of a POLITICO investigation](https://www.politico.eu/article/greece-farmers-european-union-opekepe-pastureland-cap-common-agricultural-policy-2/) earlier this year.

>EPPO is pursuing dozens of cases in which Greek citizens received EU agricultural funds for pastureland they did not own or had not leased, or for agricultural work they never did, depriving real farmers of the cash they deserved.

>According to the decision, dated June 11, the European Commission has imposed a flat-rate correction of 5 percent on all Greek direct subsidies over a lack of effective supervision.

>For specific categories such as young farmer schemes from 2018 to 2020, that correction rises to 10 percent. The two largest annual penalties, €79 million and €76 million, target area-based payments made in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
