Amount or form of support: a grant of at least €500, covering 70% of the amount excluding VAT spent on equipment and inspection. Operations targeted: extraction installations and equipment, and inspection of airflow and acoustic performance — purchase or renovation of an exhaust gas and fume extraction system with collectors suited to the activity, or replacement of existing components.
