Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

1.  These Regulations amend the Sheep Annual Premium Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2677, as already amended by S.I. 1994/2741, S.I. 1995/2779 and S.I. 1996/49), which extend to Great Britain.

2.  The amendments consist of the insertion of 2 new paragraphs, (3) and (4), into regulation 3 of S.I. 1992/2677.

3.  Those new paragraphs give effect to new paragraph 1(a)(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2700/93 (OJ No. L245, 1.10.93, p.99), inserted by Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1526/96 (OJ No. L190, 31.7.96, p.21).

4.  New paragraph 1(a)(3) enables member States to oblige certain sheep producers who are applying for sheep annual premium only to demonstrate the location of their respective holdings by submitting an area aid application. Although an area aid application is generally required by Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3508/92 (OJ No. L355, 5.12.92, p.1), applicants for sheep annual premium only would otherwise be exempted from this requirement by Article 4(5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 3887/92 (OJ No. L391, 31.12.92, p.36).

5.  Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3013/89 (OJ No. L289, 7.10.89, p.1) continues to provide the legal base for the making of sheep annual premium payments.

6.  No compliance cost assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
