(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 1989 (“the principal Regulations”). The Regulations clarify Schedule 8B to the principal Regulations (small producer supplementary development provision) — regulation 5, and Schedule 9 to the principal Regulations (exceptional hardship provision) — regulation 6. In particular they make clear that Schedule 8B applies only to producers in respect of holdings in Scotland and Northern Ireland and that Schedule 9 applies only to producers in respect of holdings in Northern Ireland. Errors in the definitions of “appropriate date” and “wholesale development quota” are corrected — regulation 4.
