Some €467m in unused crisis reserve contributions will be refunded to EU farmers, the European Commission has announced.
Ireland will receive €13.6m of this.
“The crisis reserve was not needed in 2019 even though the agricultural sector faced challenging situations this year,” the Commission said in a statement.

Additional support measures were put in place to help farmers affected by the extreme weather this summer, including an advanced payment of the first instalment of BPS and ANC money.
Crisis reserve
The crisis reserve is made up of deductions from direct payments over €2,000. Member states may reimburse farmers from 1 December.
The crisis reserve introduced in the 2013 CAP reform has never been used and has been returned to farmers every year since then.
