PAPI Bordei Verde helps people who ask for European funds
05.12.2011
| A young woman in Bordei Verde (Brăila County) has submitted a project in the autumn session launched by The Agency of Payments for Rural Development and Fishing (APDRP), on Measure 112 – “The setting up of young farmers”. PAPI employees have offered support from the very beginning. |
PAPI employees in Bordei Verde are ready to help all those who wish to request European funds in order to help the community develop.
“We’ve had a single request on Measure 112, «The setting up of young farmers». Specifically, it was a young local woman who wished to buy equipment, a mower for her pasture. She wants to grow cereals, as she already has several heads of cattle”, RECL manager Marinela Macreanu says.
“We did all we could to make it easy for her to submit the application. We created the tables, filled in the file where needed”, Macreanu explains.
Total funds for Measure 112 total 337.2 million Euros, out of which the Romanian Government’s contribution is 20% and the EU offers 80%. Non-reimbursable funds for setting up small farmers will be accessible until 2013.
Letting people know
PAPI Bordei Verde is renowned for keeping locals up to date through posters, flyers or direct meetings about European funds available for agriculture. As soon as authorities who are involved in offering EU funds announce a call for projects, PAPI employees launch campaign aiming to inform people in all the villages, under the slogan „PAPI Bordei Verde keeps you up to date”.
In this context, after The Agency of Payments for Rural Development and Fishing (APDRP) completed the Applicant’s Guide for Measure 121, «The modernization of agricultural exploitations», PAPI Bordei Verde helped farmers put together their files for financing. Measure 121 is part of Axis 1 – “Increasing the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sectors”.
