These Regulations amend the Rural Development (Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2007 (the ‘enforcement regulations’) which implement European law which requires Member States to ensure that the European Union’s financial interests in relation to expenditure on rural development are effectively protected.
Regulation 2(2)(d) refers to a repealed act (Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003). The reference is necessary so that under Regulation 12 of the enforcement regulations payments yet to be made by reference to the repealed act may be set off against sums recoverable under the enforcement regulations.
Regulation 2(2)(b) amends the definition of “authorised person” so that it includes persons authorised by the Environment Agency.
Otherwise the Regulations make amendments in view of recent changes to domestic and European legislation.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
