"'September 21, 2021 is the deadline for settling the compensation for damages caused by the calamitous event in question'. Apparently, these are two lines of a simple service communication within an articulated letter sent by Argea to a farmer who instead reveal one of the biggest bureaucratic contortions to the detriment of farmers. A colossal scandal is the resounding victory of the bureaucracy that kills agriculture ".

Coldiretti denounces the situation.

"We want to have a detailed report of the cases cleared, instructed, still to be investigated and not cleared and what path they will take, and when, those deemed inadmissible and recovered in July 2020 with the de minimis procedure thanks to our proposal - he said the president of Coldiretti Sardegna Battista Cualbu -. We must have a transparent framework that has been missing since April 30th ".

In 2017 a terrible drought hit Sardinian agriculture causing heavy losses to all sectors.

As of January 2020, of the over 22,000 applications submitted by around 11,500 farms, only 6 out of 100 applications had been cleared.

Since the last report of the task force project unit set up by the Region (30 April 2021), 35 percent of the applications are not admissible (these are incorrectly filled in and therefore canceled); 4 percent were in the preliminary investigation, while 26 percent had completed the investigation successfully and were in liquidation, while 32 percent were deemed inadmissible, but recovered and liquidated with the de minimis.

"These latter questions - explained the director of Coldiretti Sardegna Luca Saba - that from the latest news we have had not yet been informed and that it would once again be a mockery if they did not follow a different path from the others and considered themselves not liquidable because they have expired. the terms. We ask that the solution be taken of moving the terms to four years given the great Covid emergency that has interrupted the operation of the offices ".
