The agreement with the pig processing sector in the immediate aftermath of the dioxin contamination incident provided for the possibility of the provision of limited funding in respect of certain pig meat product, other than eligible product, subject to compliance with certain specified conditions. The closing date for applications in this respect was 31 December 2009. Applications were received from 15 companies by the closing date and these are being examined taking into account the terms of the relevant State Aid decision (No. NN 44/2009) issued by the European Commission. No payments have been made to date.
