The Regional Secretary for Tourism, Environment and Culture has updated the financial compensation values to be paid by SIGRE management entities for 2026.
Order no. 179/2026 determines the update of financial compensation values regarding selective and undifferentiated collection of packaging waste in the Autonomous Region of Madeira for the year 2026.
The update was based on a factor of 1.022, resulting from the application of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP). The new values, detailed in the order's annexes, cover selective collection, sorting, and energy recovery operations for materials such as glass, paper/cardboard, plastics, steel, aluminum, and wood.
Two ordinances authorize the distribution of budgetary charges for the acquisition of a river flow monitoring network and an integrated forest fire video surveillance system.
A 100% financial support for reforestation and recovery of forest areas affected by fires, pests, or natural disasters has been approved.
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Fisheries has established the funding application regime to protect forests against biotic and abiotic agents, such as fires and pests.
