Objectives
Submeasure 21.3 has the aim to respond to the crisis situation that has hit PMI for processing and marketing of quality products in the wine sector, most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The total closure of the Horeca sales channel and the limitations on exports during the lockdown period resulted in a significant reduction in turnover for the aforementioned PMI and a consequent loss of income. In particular, the PMI operative in this sector were unable to sell a significant portion of the quality wine (DOC, DOCG, IGT) in stock.
In order to preserve the economic and productive fabric of the PMI in the aforementioned sector, affected by the consequences deriving from the manifestation of the COVID-19 pandemia, a one-off payment of a financial contribution aimed at supporting company liquidity is envisaged to maintain business continuity.
Selection principles
Taking into account that the purpose of the measure is to provide the widest support to the companies affected by the effects of Covid-19 and that these effects are distributed evenly with respect to potential beneficiaries, no selection criteria are set. Therefore, all beneficiaries who meet the eligibility conditions will be eligible for funding.
