EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations amend the Biomass Processing Challenge Fund Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (‘the principal Regulations’) to correct certain drafting errors.

A new definition of “EU legislation” is inserted and refers to a list of EU legislation set out in a new Schedule. This identifies the relevant EU legislation in accordance with which payments under Regulations must be made.

Superfluous definitions of some of that EU legislation are revoked.

The Regulations also amend Regulation 8 of the principal Regulations to remove the power of the European Commission to specify a different date to the one referred to therein as the date until which beneficiaries are required to keep records.
