The European Commission has provided support to the agri-food sector throughout the Covid-19 crisis through increased flexibility and specific market measures. More recently, the package of support measures for the wine sector was extended until mid-October 2021.

This summer, the EU is seeing adverse weather conditions from floods to heat waves. Farmers are among the most affected by these extreme weather events. This is why the Commission is taking action to increase their cash flow through the measure adopted today.
