EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulation 2 modifies the application of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 809/2014 (“Regulation 809/2014”) laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No. 1306/2013 with regard to the integrated administration and control system, rural development measures and cross compliance for claim year 2020.

Article 13 of Regulation 809/2014 sets out the final date of submission of the single application, aid applications and payment claims. Regulation 2(a) modifies Article 13(1) so that for claim year 2020 the deadline is extended from 15 May 2020 to 15 June 2020.

Regulation 2(b) modifies Article 15(2) to extend the deadline for making amendments to a single application or payment claim from 31 May 2020 to 30 June 2020.

Regulation 2(c) modifies Article 22(1) so that the final date for submitting an application for the allocation or increase in value of payment entitlements aligns with the amended deadlines. This is extended from 15 May 2020 to 15 June 2020.

Regulation 3 modifies the application of Article 8(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 641/2014 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No. 1307/2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy. This modification removes the reference to exit day.

Regulation 4 modifies the Common Agricultural Policy (Integrated Administration and Control System and Enforcement and Cross Compliance) (Wales) Regulations 2014 (“the 2014 Regulations”) for claim year 2020. Regulation 3(1) of the 2014 Regulations is modified to extend the deadline for submitting a single application, aid application or payment claim to the Welsh Ministers from 15 May 2020 to 15 June 2020.

Regulation 5 modifies the Common Agricultural Policy Basic Payment and Support Schemes (Wales) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”) for claim year 2020. The 2015 Regulations make provisions in relation to the administration of Regulation (EU) No. 1307/2013.

Regulation 5(a) modifies regulation 10(1) of the 2015 Regulations to align the deadline for applications for allocation of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme with the revised dates in Regulation 809/2014.

Regulation 5(b) modifies regulation 11(3) of the 2015 Regulations so that the deadline by which the transferor of payment entitlements must notify the Welsh Ministers of the transfer is extended from 30 April 2020 to 15 May 2020.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of a Regulatory Impact Assessment was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
