The State Fund "Agriculture" - Payment Agency (DFZ - RA) announced on its website that a new functionality has been developed in the Electronic Services System (ESS) of the Fund (https://seu.dfz.bg/drupal/).

It is part of the DFZ's drive to digitize processes and reduce the administrative burden when processing applicants' applications.

As of Campaign 2022, the documents issued by DFZ - Certificates for declared areas/animals under schemes (a document required by commercial banks as part of the procedure for establishing a special pledge) can be generated electronically from the applicant's individual profile in SEU.

Every farmer with active registration in the system (currently over 26,000 farmers) and submitted a valid application for support for the current campaign can electronically generate a Certificate, using the page "Certificates for a special pledge" located in the "References" menu - section "Financial ".

Each campaign, the regional directorates of the DFZ process more than 6,000 requests for certificates containing summary data on declared areas, animals, schemes and support measures.

For Campaign 2022, with a view to continuity in the methods of working with the beneficiaries, DF "Agriculture" will continue to issue paper certificates through its regional structures.

From 2023, the issuance of certificates for a special pledge on paper will be permanently suspended and such will be generated only electronically.
