Subsidies for environmentally-friendly management of grassland, aimed to the care of pasture and natural grazing, clearing or mowing, shall be set-aside for the procurement of grassland in adherence to Orders on subsidies for agro-environmentally-friendly farming measures. Penalties and sanctions shall be applied in case of breach of commitments or other obligations that are not related to each area.
