(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend only to England and come into force on 1st October 1999, provide for the closure of the moorland extensification aid scheme established by the Moorland (Livestock Extensification) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/904) (the "principal Regulations"). The principal Regulations, which were made in compliance with Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p. 85) on agricultural methods compatible with the requirements of protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside (amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2772/95 (OJ No. L288, 1.12.95, p. 35)), provide for payments of aid to farmers who reduce their flocks of ewes.
Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 is repealed, subject to a saving in respect of any actions approved by the Commission of the European Communities under it before 1st January 2000, by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 (OJ No. L160, 26.6.1999, p. 80) on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations.
These Regulations do not affect the operation of the aid scheme established by the principal Regulations in relation to any person who is a participant ("beneficiary") in that scheme or who is entitled under regulation 7(1)(b) of the principal Regulations to give an undertaking to comply with the extensification obligations assumed by the original occupier.
