Government creates exceptional regime for winegrowers affected by bad weather

Jornal do Algarve10 September 2026 at 11:02

The Portuguese Government has created an exceptional regime for applications to intervention B.3.4 "Restructuring and conversion of vineyards" support, intended for winegrowers who suffered losses due to meteorological events recorded between 28 January and 15 February 2026. The measure falls within the scope of the National Support Programme for the Wine Sector (PEPAC Portugal).

The published ordinance defines a financial allocation of five million euros, simplified procedures and priority criteria for producers who can demonstrate losses in their affected vineyard parcels. The exceptional regime also provides for the extension of submission and decision deadlines whenever circumstances justify it, ensuring administrative flexibility in more complex situations.

The measure also establishes differentiated maximum limits of eligible area according to the location of producers' parcels. The application process takes place online through IFAP, I.P., with deadlines defined and announced by the Instituto da Vinha e do Vinho, I.P., according to information from the Ministry of Agriculture and Sea.

Brussels prepares legislative package to simplify banking regulation and strengthen sector competitiveness

The European Commissioner for Financial Services, Maria Luís Albuquerque, announced that the European Commission will present in the first quarter of 2027 a legislative package to simplify banking regulation in the EU, reduce fragmentation of the single market and adapt international standards to European specifics. The announcement follows the Report on Banking Sector Competitiveness, which identifies three major obstacles: fragmentation of the single market and the need to complete the Banking Union, better adaptation of international standards to the European economy, and excessive complexity of the prudential framework requiring greater proportionality for smaller banks. Albuquerque called for greater political ambition to solve structural problems, emphasizing that the resilience of European banks is not enough without competitiveness. The commissioner also revealed that the EU intends to achieve political agreements by the end of the year on the Market Integration and Supervision Package, complementary pensions and securitization, within the Savings and Investment Union.
