(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the Dairy Produce Quotas (Scotland) Regulations 2002 ("the 2002 Regulations") and to the Agricultural Subsidies (Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 2000, in consequence of the 2002 Regulations.
They principally make provision, as appropriate, for an opportunity to make representations to the Scottish Ministers before decisions are made by them involving matters of ministerial discretion (by amendment of the 2002 Regulations) and a right of representation and ultimately appeal through the Agricultural Subsidies (Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 against decisions made by the Scottish Ministers involving principally matters of fact (by amendment of those Regulations) (regulations 2(4), (6) and (8) and 3).
They also amend minor erroneous cross-references in the 2002 Regulations (regulation 2(2), (5) and (7)) and, in relation to regulation 8 of the 2002 Regulations, close a gap in relation to obligations to give notice of transfer where quota is transferred with a transfer of land (regulation 2(3)).
