History

  • OPEKEPE was established in 1998 and in 1999 became a legal entity under private law.
  • Became operational and started its activity in 1.9.2001 and in 2.9.2002 OPEKEPE was accredited as a paying agency.
  • Since 2005 OPEKEPE is the unique body in Greece responsible for the new C.A.P. aid schemes, which were first applied in 2006.
  • In 2006, due to the reorganization of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (E.A.G.G.F.), OPEKEPE became the Paying Authority responsible for the following three funds: European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (E.A.G.F.), European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (E.A.F.R.D.), and European Fisheries Fund (E.F.F.) by virtue of Greek Law No 3508.
  • The new C.A.P. led to a full reorganization of OPEKEPE, which came into force in spring 2007.
