Written Question · S3W-12206 · Session 3
What study it has made of the French Government’s support package for pig farmers.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what study it has made of the French Government’s support package for pig farmers.
The answer
We understand that the French government is offering tax rebates and help with interest payments on loans. In order to comply with State aid de minimis rules, support for individual enterprises is limited to 7,500 euros over a three year period. I am asking the Pig Industry Task Force to consider the implications of the French initiative for Scotland, recognising that taxation is a reserved matter.
