The Euro STOXX 50, the stock index that brings together the 50 largest listed European companies, will undergo changes in its composition. The telecommunications infrastructure company Nokia enters the index, after being excluded a year ago. The energy counterpart Engie also joins the index from now on.

The companies leaving the Euro STOXX 50 are the automobile manufacturer Volkswagen and the software creator Wolters Kluwer. These changes were disclosed by the Reuters news agency.

The STOXX 600, an index that aggregates the 600 largest European companies by market capitalization, is also facing changes. The National Bank of Greece and Alpha Bank are joining this index, while the retailer JD Sports Fashion, the Thule Group and the airport operator Fraport AG are leaving the index.

All these changes take effect on September 21.

The Minister of Agriculture, José Manuel Fernandes, announced that the extraordinary support of 30 million euros authorized by the European Commission for farmers and fishermen, intended to compensate for the increase in energy and fertilizer costs, has already been fully paid. In August, 20 million were paid for fertilizers and about 10 million for agricultural diesel.

Until August, 809 million euros were paid to farmers, an increase of 39% compared to the same period last year.
