Bratislava, 16 June (TASR) - As of 15 June, direct payments amounting to €582.8 million had been paid out to farmers within the 2025 campaign, making up 97.89 percent of the total package of €595.4 million, Agriculture Minister Richard Takac (Smer-SD) told a news conference on Tuesday.
Farmers received €390.2 million (98.43 percent) under the first pillar, while €192.6 million (96.49 percent) was paid out under the second pillar. An amount of €12.6 million is still to be disbursed, therefore.
According to Takac, Slovakia isn't facing a penalty from the EU, as Brussels rules require at least 95 percent of payments to be made by the end of June.
