"We have concrete proposals and we are trying to soften the impact on farmers," Rural Development Minister Evangelos Apostolou said in a press conference on Wednesday, adding that the discussions with the partners on the taxation of the farmers will have been completed by the end of the month.

He explained that a key tool in the negotiation will be the fact that some of the prior actions impinge on the development strategy of the sector, which also is one of the prior actions.

The discussions will focus on farmers whose main income comes from agriculture with the view to keeping tax rate at low levels, he added. The ministry will also seek not to impose taxes on EU financing.
