Commissioner Franz Fischler today [Monday] signed a decision to confer the management of Sapard aid to the Polish authorities, enabling Poland to commence the implementation of its Sapard programme.


Under this scheme, Poland will now be entitled to grant aid of which the EU contribution is €171.6m (US$169.7m) annually. Payment of the first advance to the SAPARD euro account in the National Fund can now be made (of about €40m).


This first decision on the provisional conferral of management of aid covers three main, and two supporting measures of the Polish Sapard programme: “Improvement in processing and marketing of food and fishery products”, “Investments in agriculture holdings”, “Development of rural infrastructure”, accompanied by “Vocational training” and “Technical assistance”. With today’s decision, all CEEC countries except Hungary and Romania have their SAPARD programmes up and running.


This decision will be formally adopted in the days to come.
