The Land in Care Scheme (Tir Gofal) (Wales) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1176) (“the principal regulations”) introduced the Tir Gofal scheme in Wales. They were amended by the Tir Gofal and Organic Farming (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 1999 (“the amendment regulations”) (S.I. 1999/3337 (W.45)).

The principal and amendment regulations were made pursuant to European legislation that has now been amended and replaced. The current regulations are therefore made to update the references to European legislation contained in the principal regulations.
