2020 No. 470 (W. 108)
The Direct Payments to Farmers (Crop Diversification Derogation) (Wales) Regulations 2020
Approved by Senedd Cymru
Made
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales
Coming into force
The Welsh Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by Articles 69(1) and 70(4) of Regulation (EU) No. 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy1 make the following Regulations.
The Welsh Ministers consider that, in order to resolve problems arising from flooding in Wales, it is necessary and justifiable to derogate from the provisions in that Regulation for claim year 2020 as respects crop diversification requirements, the extent and period of that derogation being in the Welsh Ministers’ opinion, strictly necessary.
