By a decision of AADE Governor Giorgos Pitsilis, the deadline for submitting the 2026 Unified Aid Application (EAE) has been moved to Tuesday 17 November 2026 to give farmers more time to complete and finalise their applications, without affecting the schedule for agricultural support payments.
Focus on entries for the 30 November advance payment
AADE is urging farmers and application submission bodies to pay particular attention to applications that include the following support schemes and interventions, so that an advance payment can be made for them on 30 November 2026:
- Livestock registration
- Interventions:
- Basic income support for sustainability (Intervention P1-21)
- Organic farming (Intervention P3-70-2.1)
- Preservation of endangered indigenous breeds of farm animals (Intervention P3-70-1.5)
- Mating disruption (Intervention P3-70-1.3.2)
Finalise by 16 November specifically for organic farming and indigenous breeds, so they can be included in the 30th November advance payment
Farmers and application submission bodies participating in the following Rural Development interventions are urged in particular to enter the required information on time and fulfil their related obligations, no later than Monday 16 November 2026, so that they can be included in the scheduled advance payment:
- Organic farming (Intervention P3-70-2.1)
- Preservation of endangered indigenous breeds of farm animals (Intervention P3-70-1.5)
Finally, beneficiaries of Intervention P3-70-1.5, “Preservation of endangered indigenous breeds of farm animals”, must complete the annual livestock inventory for their holdings for the 2026 implementation year by Friday 13 November 2026. Completing the inventory is a prerequisite for inclusion in the advance payment mentioned above. Otherwise, it will not be possible to make an advance payment to these beneficiaries.
Advance payment for livestock farmers who submitted an application by 25 September
Data processing has been completed for almost 3,100 livestock farmers who submitted a Unified Aid Application by 25 September. The transfer and crediting of the relevant amounts to beneficiaries’ accounts is under way and is expected to be completed tomorrow, 11 November 2026.
