Art. 77a Principle
1 The Confederation shall within the limits of the approved credits provide subsidies to regional and branch specific projects aimed at improving sustainability in the use natural resources. 2 Subsidies are granted to the responsible agency provided: a. the measures planned in the project are coordinated with each other; b. the measures are expected to become self-supporting in the foreseeable future.
Art. 77b Level of subsidies
1 The level of the subsidies is governed by the ecological and agronomic effect of the project, in particular the increase in efficiency when using substances and energy. The level amounts to a maximum of 80 per cent of the allowable costs of realising the projects and measures. 2 If the Confederation simultaneously grants subsidies or compensatory payments under this Act or the Federal Act of 1 July 1966 on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage or compensatory payments under the Waters Protection Act of 24 January 1991 for the same measures on the same area of land, these subsidies or compensatory payments shall be deducted from the allowable costs.
