EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations apply to England and amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/219) ("the Principal Regulations"). The Principal Regulations make provision for the administration of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 (O.J. No. L 270, 21.10.2003, p.1) (the "Council Regulation"), Commission Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 (O.J. No. L 141, 30.4.2004, p.1) (the "Commission Regulation 795/2004"), Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 (O.J. No. L 141, 30.4.2004, p.18) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 (O.J. No. L 345, 20.11.2004, p.1) in relation to establishing a new system of direct support schemes (including the Single Payment Scheme) under the Common Agricultural Policy which came into force on 1 January 2005.

These Regulations update references to the Community instruments in the Principal Regulations to references to the Community Instruments as amended at the date these Regulations are made.

In relation to the Single Payment Scheme regulation 9 of the Principal Regulations provides that in accordance with Article 51(b) of the Council Regulation secondary crops may be cultivated on eligible hectares during a period of not more than three months. The three months begin each year on the 15th August but not in the year beginning on 1st January 2005. Commission Regulation (EC) No 394/2005 (OJ No. L63, 10.3.2005, p.17) (the "Commission Regulation 394/2005") amends Commission Regulation 795/2004. Article 2 of Commission Regulation 394/2005 enables Member States, by way of a derogation from Article 51, to decide for the year 2005 to apply the second subparagraph of Article 51(b). These Regulations substitute regulation 9 of the Principal Regulations to apply the second subparagraph of Article 51(b) in the year 2005.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the cost of business.
