These Regulations apply to Scotland. They introduce a new organic aid scheme for Scotland approved by Commission Decision C (2004) 153 of 21 January 2004 (unpublished) and close the present organic aid scheme provided by the Organic Aid (Scotland) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/1701 as amended by S.I. 1996/3083 and 1999/107) (“the 1994 Regulations”). The Regulations continue to make provision for the payment of aid to farmers who undertake to introduce organic farming methods (“conversion grant”) and introduce new payments of aid to farmers–for capital items required to introduce organic farming methods (“capital grant”);to use organic farming methods once aid for introducing such methods ceases (“maintenance grant”); andto contribute to the cost of producing a conversion plan to apply for a conversion grant
