Omissions

• The exact terminology in the regulation is 'highly infectious pests' rather than 'highly contagious diseases'
• The regulation was published in 2026 (Regulation 2026/471)
• Could not verify the specific 100% financing rate due to limited search results
• The regulation covers broader wine sector modernization, not only disease interventions
