EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Farm Subsidies (Review of Decisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 ("the 2001 Regulations") to add to regulation 4 (Decisions amendable to review), a decision by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development declaring an application for Dairy Premium inadmissible or reducing the amount of such premium payable to a farmer as a consequence of late submission of an application. These Regulations insert a number of definitions into regulation 2 of the 2001 Regulations in order to facilitate interpretation of the amended regulation 4.
Article 95 of Council Regulation 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (O.J. No. L270, 21.10.2003, p. 1) is the current authority for the existence of Dairy Premium. Article 2 of Commission Regulation 2237/2003 (O.J. No. L339, 24.12.2003, p. 52) applies the provisions of Article 13 of Commission Regulation 2419/2003 (O.J. No. L327, 12.12.2001 p. 11) to Dairy Premium in respect of applications for the premium period 2004/2005.
