The new subsidized intervention provides that the procedure for granting subsidized financing in favor of cooperative companies continues to be managed by the financial companies participated by the Ministry which is entrusted with the implementation of the interventions pursuant to the aforementioned law no. 49/1985, in order to ensure adequate and balanced financial coverage for the "business plan" of cooperative companies, both in terms of own resources and medium-long term debt. With directorial decree of 31 March 2021, the operational aspects for the presentation and evaluation of applications, the granting and disbursement of benefits and the monitoring of subsidized initiatives were defined as well as the methods for regulating relations between the Ministry of Economic Development and the financial companies entrusted with the management of the intervention.
