The General Court of the European Union has annulled a fine of over 2.9 million euros levied against Portugal by Brussels. The penalty stemmed from alleged irregularities in the control and management of agricultural aid between 2018 and 2021. The court’s decision effectively cancels the financial sanction imposed on Portugal. Details regarding the specific nature of the alleged non-compliance were not immediately disclosed. This ruling represents a victory for Portugal in its dispute with the European Commission regarding the administration of agricultural subsidies. The Commission had claimed deficiencies in Portugal’s oversight of how farm aid was distributed during the specified period.
