Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which form part of Scots law only, make an amendment to the Suckler Cow Premium Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1441, as already amended by S.I. 1994/1528, 1995/15, 1446, 1996/1488 and 1997/249).
The amendment is to allow applications for Suckler Cow Premium to be submitted electronically according to an authorisation to that effect by the Scottish Ministers.
The legal basis for that is Article 5a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 3887/92 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes which was inserted by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2801/1999 (O.J. No. L 340, 31.12.1999, p.29).
No compliance cost assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
