Since January 2023, green harvesting in the wine sector is regulated by Articles 58(1)(c) and 59(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115[1] and Article 17 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/126[2].
During the previous programming period (2014-2022), the Commission provided examples of eligible costs for green harvesting. As the intervention has not changed, Member States can rely on these examples when calculating the Union financial support for green harvesting under Regulation (EU) 2021/2115.
The approach described by the Honourable Member could be adopted by a Member State, provided the aforementioned legal provisions are respected. Beneficiaries are invited to directly contact their competent authorities with a view to receiving examples of calculation methods.
