The Socialist Deputy, Manuel Soler, said that "farmers and ranchers who make the hiring of agricultural insurance are not receiving aid coming from the Ministry of Agriculture and Water said in a statement sent by Agroseguro all groups that manage procurement of agricultural insurance in Murcia, indicating that after an intense meeting held last June 12 with the Directors Antonio Cerda and Juan Bernal, these showed the absence of budget for 2012 in relation to agricultural insurance combined, causing effect from today June 14. "
The political Lorca recalled that "at first, the meeting between the national leadership of Agroseguro and the leaders of both Councils was to negotiate the payment of arrears to the Ministry of Agriculture and Water has with Agroseguro, amounting to approximate amount of 7,200,000 euros. The end result was the elimination of total aid for the purchase of insurance in this year. "
Soler has continued to relate that "the major lines of insurance existing in our region are those of stone and pome fruit, vegetables outdoors and in greenhouses, citrus, vines and vine, cut flowers outdoors and in greenhouses. In on livestock, the removal of corpses. The rates of assistance after the reduction by half in relation to the previous year are 20% averaged over the grant to pay ENESA in fruits and vegetables and 45% in the withdrawal animal carcasses "
Lorca The mayor stressed that "in another vein, I want to emphasize that following the announcement by the CARM in the Financial Rebalancing Plan, the cut would receive the Ministry of Agriculture and Water in the current budget for 2012 would be 11.9 million. From the Socialist parliamentary group, we fear that the cuts will be assigned finally to the agriculture of our region could be much higher than advertised. "
Manuel Soler finished suing the Autonomous Region to "reconsider its position. Although the agriculture and livestock is proving to be strong before the crisis, their economic situation has suffered in recent seasons and we are surprised that, for one hand, the President of the Regional Government, Ramon Luis Valcarcel, indicates that this is a strategic sector and deserves all the support and backing of the Administration of Murcia and on the other hand, the Minister of Economy is in prime cuts to this sector.
