The scheme aims to contribute to achieving environmental and climate objectives (soil, water and air) due
to the permanent reduction of the national livestock population. The Scheme intends to subsidize permanent
closure of livestock sites characterized by high amount of nitrogen load, i.e. 2 500 moles of nitrogen per year
(“peak-load”). The subsidy provides compensation for the loss in value of production capacity (stables,
manure cellars and silos, feed silos), for the production right to be recovered and for the costs of demolition
of production capacity. Rearing sites ending takes place in stages and the RVO, the agency responsible for
implementing the scheme, checks that the relevant requirements of the subsidy decision have been met. If
the check shows these requirements are met, the beneficiary receives an advance on the subsidy, and finally,
if all the subsidy requirements are met, the remaining amount is paid
