(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Farm Payment and Support Schemes (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”) and the Common Agricultural Policy Schemes (Cross-Compliance) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”), together, “the principal Regulations.”
They implement Council Regulation (EC) No. 73/2009 which repeals Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 and establishes common rules for direct support schemes for farmers and establishes certain support schemes for farmers.
The regulations also update references to Community instruments in the principal Regulations.
Regulation 3(e) updates the definition of “direct payment” to cover any payment granted under any Scheme listed in Annex I. It also updates the definition of “eligible hectare.”
Regulation 6 prescribes the minimum size of a holding in respect of which direct payments may be claimed.
Regulation 7 confirms the relevant date upon which eligible land must be at the farmer's disposal for the purposes of claiming direct payments to be 15th May.
Regulation 8 amends regulation 10(2) of the 2005 Regulations and makes provision for the rates of Member State Modulation to be applied. In particular, it specifies the proportion of the sums that may be deducted by Scottish Ministers for the years 2009 to 2012. The effect of the amendment is that modulation is now applied at a variable rate on the total figure for direct payments received, irrespective of Scheme. The percentage rate to be applied is determined according to a direct payment threshold.
Regulation 9 updates the definition of “Scheme payment”.
Regulation 11 exercises the derogation contained in Article 72(3) of Council Regulation 73/2009 to allow payment in accordance with the measures applicable under Article 69 of Council Regulation 1782/2003.
Regulation 13 contains revocation and savings provisions.
Regulation 16 specifies that the term “abstraction” is to be defined in terms of existing domestic legislation.
Regulation 17 exempts land managed under certain agri-environmental schemes from GAEC measures regarding encroachment of vegetation in certain circumstances.
Regulation 18 amends the 2004 Regulations by inserting a new compulsory GAEC standard regarding the abstraction of water for irrigation which will come into effect on 1st January 2010.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
