Other information: Amendment to aid scheme N 204/08 ‘Aid in the form of credit guarantees’ provides for a new aid activity — ‘Vocational training, information and promotional measures’. The credit guarantee scheme's budget (LVL 250 000 000) and duration remain unchanged.

Aid is granted for agricultural and rural development measures designed to support the production of primary agricultural products in the form of credit guarantees. Where a beneficiary seeking to obtain a loan from a credit institution is found to have insufficient security, the State Rural Development Fund (LAF) will provide the credit institutions with guarantees in accordance with the contract concluded, and the credit institutions will then issue loans to farmers or processors of agricultural products with insufficient loan collateral for agricultural and rural development measures. In order to obtain a credit guarantee, a one-off premium must be paid when the credit institution is provided with the guarantee for the credit.

Guarantees will be granted for loans relating to the education and training of farmers and farm workers (eligible costs arising from the organisation of training programmes, travel and subsistence costs for participants), for consultancy services provided by third parties, fees for services which do not constitute a continuous or periodic activity or relate to the enterprise's normal operating expenditure, such as routine tax consultancy services, regular legal services or advertising, the organisation of, and participation in, business forums, competitions, exhibitions and fairs (eligible costs covering enrolment fees, travel expenses, publication fees, hiring of exhibition facilities), provided that individual enterprises or trademarks are not mentioned, aid for factual information on quality systems that may include products from other countries, on generic products, their nutritional benefits and suggested uses (aid may be granted to cover such expenditure if the origin of products covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and Articles 54 to 58 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999) is designated, provided that designations of origin comply precisely with designations registered in the Community), and for publications, e.g. catalogues or websites providing factual information on producers from specific regions or producers of specific products, on condition that the information and the manner in which it is presented is neutral and all eligible producers have equal chances of being included in such publications.

Maximum volume of guarantee is 70 % or LVL 70 000.

Maximum aid intensity is 100 %.

The loan could be issued by any credit institution operating on the market (including foreign credit institutions). The credit institution must conclude a cooperation agreement with the Fund. The planned maturity for guarantees is 10 years, though under certain circumstances this may be extended if such an extension does not increase the Fund's operational risk. The credit institution can claim compensation for no more than 70 % of the outstanding debt in respect of the portion of the credit falling under the guarantee.

Aid beneficiaries are small and medium-sized enterprises active in primary agricultural production. Aid will be granted in kind by means of subsidised services and must not involve direct payments of money to producers. It will be accessible to all those eligible in the area concerned, based on objectively defined conditions. No aid remains in the intermediary enterprise, all aid being passed on to the final beneficiaries. Aid will not be granted retroactively in respect of activities which have already been carried out by the beneficiary.
