The Association of Greek Shorthorn Cattle Breeders has criticized the Greek government for delays and irregularities in the payment of agro-environmental measures, arguing that the issue has led to financial difficulties for farmers. The association also criticized a decision to base farm aid on product sales invoices, rather than feed purchase invoices, and expressed concerns about the future of farming, especially extensive farming. The association also accused the government of indifference and irrational decisions, and suggested that its actions could lead to the extinction of animal husbandry.
