SCERNI. “This morning the municipal administration of Scerni participated in the meeting organized by the Regional Councilor for Agricultural Policies Emanuele Imprudente where, in addition to the Mayors, the President Marco Marsilio, the director of the Agriculture Department Elena Sico and the President of the FIRA – Finanziaria Regionale Abruzzese SpA Giacomo D’Ignazio.
The Mayors unanimously reiterated, by signing a precise document, how necessary and urgent it is to arrive at short and certain times to restore the companies damaged by downy mildew last year, the 2023 harvest.
The representatives of the Regional Council illustrated the actions being perfected such as the immediate disbursement of interest-free loans of Euro 10,000 through the Fira equal to 2.5 million which are about to be disbursed which will be followed by a new tender equal to another 2, 5 million to reduce interest rates for the suspension of interest rates on existing mortgages, to which another 5.2 million will be added to give non-repayable contributions to damaged companies through Agea.
“We believe this effort by the Abruzzo Region is still insufficient to compensate for the approximately 200 million euros in damages suffered by a good part of the 15,000 winemakers – we read in the note sent by the Mayors’ spokesperson Angelo Radica. – We have asked President Marsilio to intercede with the national government to increase the scarce resources currently available by approximately €17 million to compensate the damaged wineries with non-repayable contributions.”
The Mayors have recognized the effort made so far by the Abruzzo Region but it is not enough and they are asking the Government for €80 million to grant non-repayable contributions.
We would like to remind you that the municipal administration of Scerni immediately requested, with a specific council resolution, a state of calamity, together with financial benefits and relief for winemakers.”
Thus, in a note, the municipal administration of Scerni.
