The support under the new measure, which aims to secure the competitiveness of SMEs as well as the viability of farmers and forest holders, should concentrate the available resources on beneficiaries who are most affected by natural disasters and grant those resources on the basis of objective and non-discriminatory criteria. The support should be provided only to those beneficiaries which were affected by destruction of at least 30 % of the relevant production or potential as a result of a formally recognised natural disaster, or measures adopted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council in connection with such natural disaster.
