Regional Minister for Agriculture, Daniela Nugnes said: “We thought it was necessary to open again the calls in order to offer a new possibility to those already included in the preliminary collective Projects and detected in the pre-admission stage who did not submit application for support grants and who are not going to get over the current preparation stage. A decision driven by the awareness that the non-funding of one or more actions of the Pirap (Rural Integrated Project for Protected Areas) could jeopardize positive effects on the territory” It is a key action to safeguard and promote protected areas of our region and for local authorities included in the park area of our land – Ms Nugnes concluded.
