Aid scheme explained by video available in five languages
On 30 March 2020, the Chamber of Deputies unanimously adopted draft bill n°75321 introducing an aid scheme for businesses experiencing temporary financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 crisis. Aid for SMEs is also planned for in the draft bill, which aims to quickly and easily provide support to businesses affected by the current health crisis without burdening them with excessive paperwork.
