The Regional Government Council has approved the second and third reprogramming of the European funds programme Madeira 2030, introducing new priorities and adjustments.
The Regional Government Council has approved, through Resolution No. 802/2026, the second and third reprogramming of the Madeira 2021-2027 Regional Programme, known as Madeira 2030. This decision, ratified in a plenary meeting on August 5, 2026, follows the proposals approved by the programme's Monitoring Committee and aims to adjust the implementation of the European ERDF and ESF+ funds to the region's current needs.
The reprogramming introduces significant changes to the programme, including the mobilisation of new investment priorities. The main changes are:
The reprogramming was approved by the Programme Monitoring Committee on October 27, 2025 and June 14, 2026, and has now received political ratification from the Regional Government Council.
Madeira has changed the rules of Funcionamento 2030, introducing new rates and limits for operating and transport costs. The scheme also allows support to be calculated using simplified costs and extends eligibility to specific transport activities.
Young farmers can now meet certain eligibility criteria based on the 48 months before applying, instead of the previously stipulated 24 months. The change aims to include applicants who began the establishment process earlier.
Ordinance No. 544/2026 makes a second amendment to the support scheme for PEPAC intervention F.1.7 in Madeira. The changes clarify eligibility criteria and correct rules on payment claims, while repealing the ordinance that introduced the first amendment.
