Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”). The amendments come into force on 22nd December 2006. These Regulations make provision for a supplementary payment to be made to applicants who have applied for and been paid a Scheme 2006 payment.
Regulation 2 of the principal Regulations is amended to include a definition of “supplementary payment” of less favoured area support (LFAS) to describe the criteria under which existing applicants who have already met the criteria in regulations 3 and 5 will qualify for the additional payment (regulation 3).
Regulations 8(a) and 12(a) are added to the principal Regulations to provide for the supplementary payment of LFAS being paid for eligible hectares on farms in Scottish less favoured areas at specified rates. These regulations are in terms similar to the existing regulations 8 and 12 of the principal Regulations (regulations 4 and 5).
Regulation 13(a) is added to the principal Regulations to fix a minimum supplementary payment of £229.50 (regulation 6).
Schedule 7 of the principal Regulations is amended to add a new Schedule 7(a) which provides new tables of figures for more disadvantaged land (Part I) and less disadvantaged land (Part II). The rates of payment to be used in the calculation of the supplementary payment set out in new regulation 8(a) are explained in new regulation 12(a) (regulation 7).
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
