(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes (Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/1892) (W.185) (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision in Wales for the administration of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (OJ No L 30, 31.1.2009, p 16), and other associated EU instruments, in relation to direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy.
