(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Rural Diversification Programme (Scotland) Regulations 1995 ("the principal Regulations").
They provide that where the diversification measure undertaken is aquaculture the amount of financial assistance payable under the principal Regulations shall not exceed 40% of eligible expenditure (regulation 2).
Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations set out the measures in respect of which financial assistance may be given. These Regulations substitute a new Schedule 2 which omits diversification measures in relation to alternative agricultural production, specifies on farm processing of agricultural or aquacultural products as a measure and makes minor drafting amendments (regulation 3).
