EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend paragraph 7 of the Schedule to the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes (Cross-compliance) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3459).
The following are the main changes to paragraph 7, which sets out farmers’ obligations relating to the management of land not in agricultural production:
(a)an extension of the obligations to cut down scrub and rank vegetation and to establish and maintain green cover on land out of production to land coming out of set aside (amended sub-paragraphs 1(b) and (3));
(b)clarification that the obligation to establish green cover on land includes maintaining that green cover but does not apply to areas on which soil dredged from watercourses and field ditches on that land has been spread (amended sub-paragraphs (1)(b) and new sub-paragraph (2)(cc));
Guidance to farmers on the management of land not in agricultural production is available at www.rpa.gov.uk.
An impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations because of the need to introduce them as quickly as possible to regulate land coming out of the set aside scheme.
