Close to EUR 20 million has been also transfered to the accounts of tobacco growers before the due term, he added.
"This is the average assitance we have been granting every year, which was not the case in the past when this sector enjoyed zero support," Gruevski said.

The subsidies are intended for number of agricultural produces included in the program - precisely defined, realistic, measurable and evident," Gruevski said.
With the subsidies, he added, farmers are further motivated to increase their production, to operate, to invest, to meet their needs and interests.
"Our pledge to support and develop agriculture, being one of the leading economic branches, is evident through our efforts not to back down, delay or lower the payment of subsidies, in particular amid the biggest debt crisis in Europe," Gruevski noted.

[h=2]Груевски: Двојно поголем извозот на земјоделски производи, субвенциите даваат резултат[/h]






Oбјавено на 21.07.2012 од ВМРО-ДПМНЕ
Оценувајќи ги генералните ефекти од субвенциите и другите мерки во полза на земјоделството, претседателот на македонската влада Никола Груевски, денеска во Пелагонија истакна дека е задоволен од преземените мерки, бидејќи истите даваат резултати.
- Во 2006 година извозот на земјоделски производи од Македонија беше во вредност од 240 милиони, минатата година извозот на земјоделски производи од Македонија достигна 470 милиони евра, а оваа година очекуваме над 500 милиони евра од извоз на земјоделски производи, посочи премиерот Груевски.
Според првиот човек на македонската Влада, земјоделците се повеќе се охрабруваат да инвестираат, да ги зголемуваат обработиливите површини и да ги користат владините мерки и поволности за агро-секторот.
- Земјоделците се охрабрија. Ја видоа поддршката и помошта од Владата и затоа влегоа во поголеми инвестиции. Им помагаме во разни форми, барана е т.н. помош „50-50“, односно кога некој ќе купи одредена механизација, 50 отсто од средствата да им бидат вратени, земјоделците се определуваат да произведат повеќе и да извезат повеќе и затоа во Македонија земјоделството има голем напредок, нагласи Груевски.
На средбата со новинарите, претседателот на Владата потврди дека годинава Македонија има двојно поголем девизен прилив отколку во 2006 година и што е најважно, истакна, Владата е посветена и има одлична комуникација и соработка со земјоделците.

Foreign investments take off in Macedonia

26/07/2012The investment boom shows promise both for Macedonia's as well as the regional economies.

The Macedonian government's campaign to attract foreign investment is paying off as investments begin to materialise and big-name investors continue to visit the country to examine venture opportunities.
"We [hope to] bring [to Macedonia] as many foreign investments as possible, show professionalism, readiness and flexibility to co-operate," Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Peshevski said.
On Wednesday (July 25th), the government signed a 415m-euro deal with Canada's EurOmax Resources to build and work the Ilovica gold and copper mine. Last week, the Turkish Cevahir Holding initiated a 300m-euro investment for a luxury residential complex in Skopje's Aerodrom municipality.
Similarly, Germany's Lisa Draxlmaier GmbH will join a local partner in a 35m-euro project to produce car parts in a new facility in Kavadarci, which will employ 4,000 people in the first five years.
Within a year, Draxlmaier will build another factory in Kavadarci, which will supply car manufacturer Mercedes.
Officials said Draxlmaier's choice of Macedonia validates Macedonia's efforts to create attractive investment conditions -- including attractive locations with support infrastructure and amenities -- often government-supplied -- in the seven technological-industrial development zones as well as expeditious electronic paperwork.
"We are practically giving investors land for free," Victor Mizo, director of Macedonia's Foreign Investments Agency, told SETimes.
Analysts said another attractive feature is Macedonia having the lowest taxes in Europe; capital gains and personal income are taxed at a flat rate of 10%. Foreign investors who re-invest the gains are freed from paying taxes.
World-renowned brand companies like Kemet Electronics, Tehnohose and Protek are finishing their factories in the industrial-development zone Skopje 1 -- popularly known as Bunardzik -- and will begin production this autumn.
Others, like the Belgian bus and industrial vehicles producer Van Hool as well as India's Montherson and the US's N to N Fiber, have bought land parcels or are already building facilities in the Skopje 1 zone.
Another aspect of the government's efforts is bringing in some of the world's wealthiest investors -- including Mexico's billionaire Carlos Slim, the Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Subrata Roy who heads India's biggest employer, the Sahara Group -- to Macedonia to examine the investment opportunities.
"Their presence has a calming effect on troubled regional economies," Atanas Dzurovski, professor of public finance at St Kliment Ohridski University in Bitola, told SETimes.

The investors' visits are followed by company specialists for a closer examination of opportunities which range from developing tourist zones in Macedonia's primary lakeside destinations -- Ohrid, Struga, Prespa and Dojran -- to locations for shooting movies.
"The region should view these forays as opportunities because the world's big players seek to cut costs and seek inexpensive destinations as well as favorable business conditions," Dzurovski said.
He explained that companies from the Middle and Far East and beyond increasingly value Macedonia for having signed agreements on free trade and market access to the EU.
"It is important to put the region on the map for the global investors. The big-name investors tend to look to invest in the whole region once they have established a beachhead," Ljube Trpeski, former governor of Macedonia's national bank, told SETimes.

Zwischen den einzelnen Ländern gibt es indes große Unterschiede: Am höchsten ist die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in Mazedonien (55 Prozent), Spanien (46 Prozent) und Griechenland (44 Prozent), am geringsten in den Niederlanden, der Schweiz und Österreich (jeweils rund 8 Prozent) sowie in Deutschland und Norwegen (rund 9 Prozent). Außer in Deutschland war die Arbeitslosenquote der Jugendlichen 2011 in fast allen Ländern höher als vor Ausbruch der Finanzkrise 2008.

Government plans construction of seven new economic zones
Saturday, 28 July 2012


The Government is planning to build seven new economic-industrial zones, which is incorporated in its programme, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski told reporters on Saturday.

Preparations are underway and in early November a construction of the economic zones in Kicevo, Prilep, Gevgelija and Struga are to commence. By April, the construction of such zones will also kick off in Radovis, Strumica and Rankovce, Gruevski said.
A large factory is already under construction in the region of Pelagonija, near Bitola, as it is the case with the Tikves region, namely Tetovo and Stip.

"It shows that Macedonia has been dispersing the zones, which is a good move. We also plan to build new economic zones for the businessmen to invest in various places across Macedonia. We encorage foreign investors when they consider to do something beyond Skopje region," the PM said.
These activities will bring fresh investments, engage Macedonia's construction companies and open many new jobs, Gruevski said.
