AGRICULTURE
These Regulations, which come into operation on 27th April 2001, lay down implementing measures for the extensification payment scheme introduced by Article 13 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1254/1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (O.J. No. L160, 26.6.1999, p. 21) for beef producers who comply with certain stocking density requirements. The Regulations prescribe rules for the administration of the scheme in relation to holdings in Northern Ireland and also holdings situated partly in Northern Ireland and partly elsewhere in the United Kingdom, where the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is responsible for processing the farmer’s claim for extensification payments (regulations 4 to 8). They also lay down enforcement provisions in relation to holdings or parts of holdings in Northern Ireland (regulations 9 to 16).
