Coverage of liabilities of Tierkörperentsorgungsges.m.b.H. (TKE)

The funding measure for coverage financing of the Tierkörperentsorgungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (TKE) in Carinthia is aimed at animal carcass disposal companies based in Carinthia that wish to offset their accounting losses. As an ongoing grant program, it supports operational expenses incurred in the course of slaughtering and disposal. With the goal of strengthening the financial stability of disposal companies, the state of Carinthia makes a direct contribution to the sustainable continuation of this important service. The measure is implemented on the basis of a direct contractual relationship between the state of Carinthia and the TKE and is awarded according to the general guidelines for funding from state resources.

For an application, the submission of an audited annual financial statement as well as a forecast for the current fiscal year are mandatory prerequisites. Eligibility for funding requires that the accounting losses are clearly documented in the annual financial statement and realistically projected in the forecast. The decision on the grant is made after reviewing all submitted documents. Through the combination of corporate financing and professional consulting, the funding ensures that affected companies can meet their liquidity requirements in the long term. Interested parties can obtain additional information from Department 10 – Agriculture and Forestry, Rural Areas – of the Office of the Carinthian State Government, which coordinates national and EU-funded programs and provides regional advisory services for agriculture, forestry, and municipalities.
