(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Habitat (Salt-Marsh) Regulations 1994 ("the principal Regulations") which implement in part Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p.85) on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside.
These Regulations amend the rate of payment of aid to beneficiaries who manage land in accordance with the management obligations in the principal Regulations where that land was permanent grassland at the start of the management period. These Regulations also amend the Schedule to the principal Regulations so as to require land eligible for payment of aid to be managed in accordance with an agreed programme throughout the management period (previously the programme was required only to cover the period preceding inundation) and make drafting changes to regulation 7A of the principal Regulations.
No Compliance Cost Assessment in relation to these Regulations has been prepared.
S.I. 1972/1811.
