(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order further amends the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Exmoor) Designation Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/83) (“the principal Order”), which designated an area in Exmoor as an environmentally sensitive area. The principal Order implemented Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p. 85) on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2772/95 (OJ No. L288, 1.12.95, p. 35), as in turn rectified by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1962/96 (OJ No. L259, 12.10.96, p. 7).
Subject to a saving provision, this Order provides for an increased maximum rate of payment where certain management activities are carried out in relation to common land.
No regulatory impact assessment has been made in respect of this Order.
1986 c. 49. The expression “the Minister” is defined in section 18(11).
