What happened
A serious issue regarding organic farming subsidies in Greece has emerged, involving a letter from DG AGRI to competent ministries and AADE dated September 22, 2026. This letter outlines that the potential financial exposure for Greece ranges between €600 and €800 million. The required repayments relate to aid received since 2018 under Measure 11, which concerns support for organic farming.

Why it matters
The proposed financial corrections include a flat rate of at least 25% for a bill, and for certain expenditures, a 100% correction. The problems cited include poor supervision of organic farming, which allegedly allowed fraudsters to receive subsidies.
