Brussels, 29 April (LaPresse) – The European Commission has adopted a temporary framework for state aid to enable Member States to support the EU economy in the context of the Middle East crisis. The Temporary Framework for State Aid in the Middle East (Metsaf) is a targeted and temporary framework designed to address the effects of the crisis on some of the most exposed sectors of the economy: agriculture, fisheries, transport and energy-intensive industries. It will remain in force until 31 December 2026. For agriculture, fisheries, land transport (road, rail and inland waterways) and short-sea shipping within the EU, Member States will be able to compensate up to 70% of the additional costs incurred by beneficiaries due to the rise in fuel and fertiliser prices caused by the crisis.
