The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in exercise of the powers conferred by Article 69(1) of Regulation (EU) 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy(1)(“Regulation (EU) 1307/2013”) makes these Regulations.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs is of the opinion that, in order to resolve problems arising from severe rainfall in Northern Ireland, it is necessary and justifiable in Northern Ireland to derogate from the provisions of Regulation (EU) 1307/2013 for claim year 2020 as regards the crop diversification requirements, the extent and period of that derogation being, in the opinion of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, strictly necessary.
Regulation (EU) 1307/2013 was incorporated into domestic law by the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 (c. 2). Article 69(1) was substituted by regulation 7(2)(a) of S.I. 2020/91.
