AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order changes how aid is calculated and claimed for operators in French Guiana’s wood valorisation sector. It moves the aid campaign to a calendar-year basis, raises several payment ceilings, and sets a clearer rule for reducing payments if eligible claims exceed the available budget. Wood-sector operators should check the new ceilings and filing rules before submitting aid requests. The 2025 campaign is handled as a transition period, running from 1 April 2025 to 31 December 2025.

- The aid campaign now runs on a calendar-year basis instead of from 1 April to 31 March.

Obligations
What this law requires
Operators requesting aid for a campaign must submit their aid application to the DEAAF of French Guiana by postal or electronic means, using the transmission method defined each year by the DEAAF.
Operators must submit aid applications no later than 15 June of the year following the aid campaign, unless that date falls on a public holiday, Saturday, or Sunday, in which case the deadline moves to the next working day.
Operators must treat aid campaigns as running on a calendar-year basis when calculating and filing aid requests, except for the 2025 transitional campaign.
For the 2025 transitional campaign, operators must calculate and submit aid requests only for the period from 1 April 2025 to 31 December 2025.
Operators must apply the revised aid ceilings when calculating aid claims: 28.08 euros and 5.00 euros replace the previous 20.74 euros and 3.04 euros ceilings, and 23.14 euros replaces the previous 17.61 euros ceiling.
