Maine-et-Loire. MP Anne-Laure Blin is surprised by “delays in payment Of aid to farmers”

Whether for the MAEC (agro-environmental and climatic measures) or the CAB (conversion to organic farming), many farmers are awaiting payment Of their aid contrary to government announcements made several weeks ago. ‘make payments on 1^erMarch. These delays obviously generate major cash flow difficulties on farms. “Farmers are the collateral victims of an inability of state services to deploy IT tools to make payments” indicates Anne-Laure Blin, MP. “My numerous reports from the field have required me to ask the Prefect for these urgent situations. I was told that the DDT teams were currently examining these files which depend on the provision of IT tools, not all of which are yet functional. Can we imagine leaving thousands of civil servants without pay for IT reasons? Of course not ! And yet this is what is happening to our farmers who are waiting for this essential aid for their farms! » adds Anne-Laure Blin. “Clearly the simplification and acceleration measures promised by the government are not yet functional.” Starting next week, not only will Anne-Laure Blin question the Minister of Agriculture but she will get involved in the text for the agricultural future with great determination.
