The Commission said in a press release Thursday it will have to claim back EU agricultural policy funds unduly spent by Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Luxemburg, Latvia, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden.
Romania has received a correction of EUR70,000 for late payments.
The biggest correction was applied to France – EUR141.8 million, while Greece will have to pay back EUR78.8 million and the Netherlands will pay back EUR24.3 million.
Portugal will be reimbursed for EUR0.5 million following a European Court of Justice ruling against an earlier decision of the European Commission.
