AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation provides EU co-financing for emergency support to Slovakia’s milk and pigmeat sectors after foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in March and April 2025 disrupted farming operations. The support targets losses that were not covered by other EU animal-health funding: raw milk that could not be delivered because of movement restrictions, and extra costs for pig farmers who had to keep pigs, piglets and sows for longer than planned. Slovakia can receive EU funding for 60% of eligible spending on these measures.
