ERDF – Offsetting transport costs in Réunion
The catalogue describes several strands linked to inbound and outbound freight for businesses registered in the national business register in Réunion and carrying out a production activity. The maximum rate of 100% mentioned in the catalogue must be checked in the regional document: it does not mean that all transport costs are fully reimbursed.
Geographical remoteness increases the cost of bringing in inputs and shipping locally made products. The ERDF scheme listed in Réunion aims to offset part of certain additional transport costs borne by production businesses. The analysis must start with the goods flows concerned, their link with local production and the exclusions set out in the rules.
