(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations enable the National Assembly for Wales (“the National Assembly”) to establish a procedure for the further consideration of an initial determination made under any of the Common Agricultural Policy (“CAP”) support schemes listed in the Schedule to the Regulations. An appeal system for CAP support schemes administered under the Integrated Administration and Control System (“IACS”) has already been established by the National Assembly under the Agricultural Subsidies (Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001 No. 2537 (W.212)).
The procedure will operate by way of appeal from the initial determination made in relation to the appellant in respect of the administration of any of the Schemes listed in the Schedule to these Regulations (regulation 4). The procedure may take the form of consideration by persons appointed by the National Assembly with a view to their making a recommendation to it as to how the matter should be determined.
The Regulations confer power to pay remuneration and allowances to any such persons appointed, and to charge a fee in respect of the costs of the procedure.
A Regulatory Appraisal has been prepared in respect of these Regulations. Copies of this can be obtained from The National Assembly for Wales, Agriculture Department, Crown Buildings, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
