EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations make provision in England for the administration of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 (OJ No. L 270, 21.10.2003, p.1) (“the principal Council Regulation”), Commission Regulation (EC) No. 795/2004 (OJ No. L 141, 30.4.2004, p.1), Commission Regulation (EC) No. 796/2004 (OJ No. L 141, 30.4.2004, p.18) and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1973/2004 (OJ No. L 345, 20.11.2004, p.1) in relation to establishing a system of direct support schemes (including the Single Payment Scheme) which was introduced under the Common Agricultural Policy in 2005.

These Regulations revise regulation 2 (interpretation) of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 4 of these Regulations inserts regulation 7A in the principal Regulations, which provides for criteria for calculating the farmer’s reference amount in relation to sugar beet pursuant to Article 37(1), third indent, and paragraph 1, point K, Annex VII to the principal Council Regulation (both of which were inserted by Council Regulation (EC) No. 319/2006 (OJ No. L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 32)). Regulation 5 inserts paragraph (1A) in regulation 8 of the principal Regulations to reflect the additional funding available as set out in the tables in point K in Annex VII of the principal Council Regulation (“the sugar funding”).

Regulation 6 amends regulation 11 of the principal Regulations in relation to voluntary modulation pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No. 378/2007 (OJ No. L 95, 5.4.2007, p. 1).

Regulation 7 substitutes a new Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations, with a new table to be added as “Part A” to that Schedule.
