The blue-dyed fuel will be made available to farmers as of January 18. The annual quota can be consumed by farmers until December 31 each year and a new quota is approved again in January the following year.
The Agency recalls that the approved amounts are based on applications for single direct payments lodged in 2015 in accordance with the relevant regulation for excise duties on gas-oil dyed blue and earmarked for agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture.
