Preas Ráiteas Glaoch oscailte ar an Scéim Trádála Ar Líne De réir taighde comhaimseartha, meastar, cé go bhfuiltear ag ceannach níos mó ar líne i gcónaí, nach bhfuil ach 23% de ghnóthaí beaga in Éirinn ag plé le díolacháin Ríomh-Thráchtála (e-commerce) ar aon bhealach fiúntach. D’fhonn líon na ngnóthaí Gaeltachta atá ag trádáil ar líne a mhéadú agus méadú a dhéanamh ar dhíolacháin ghnóthaí Gaeltachta ar líne tá Scéim Trádála Ar Líne forbartha ag Údarás na Gaeltachta. Déanfar é seo trí dhreasacht airgeadais a íoc le gnóthaí Gaeltachta atá incháilithe faoi réir gnáthchritéir an Údaráis chun a gcumas trádáil ‘ar líne’ a fhorbairt agus a threisiú. Méid agus Ráta an Deontais Faoin scéim seo íocfar uasmhéid deontais suas le €2,500 nó 50% den chaiteachas incháilithe, gan CBL san áireamh, cibé acu is lú. Critéir Incháilithe Glacfar le hiarratais a bhaineann le Seirbhísí Trádála Ar Líne sna réimsí seo a leanas: - Gnóthaí atá incháilithe le haghaidh cúnaimh trí ghnáthscéimeanna tacaíochta agus deontais Údarás na Gaeltachta; San áireamh anseo tá gnóthaí Gaeltachta sna hearnálacha déantúsaíochta agus seirbhísí trádála idirnáisiúnta agus gnóthaí turasóireachta áirithe; - Gnóthaí nach gcaitheann ach méid teoranta ama i mbun trádála ar líne faoi láthair; - Ní foláir don ghnó a bheith i mbun trádála ar feadh 12 mí ar a laghad roimh dháta an iarratais; - Glacfar le hiarratais ó ghnóthaí príobháideacha agus ó ghnóthaí pobalbhunaithe nó fiontair shóisialta ach iad a bheith ag feidhmiú i réimse tráchtála.
