Abstract

These Regulations introduce measures to supplement Community legislation which provides for payment of assistance from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund for measures which promote rural development falling within the scope of Council Regulation 1257/1999. These Regulations establish a framework for the payment in Scotland of grants for those and related purposes towards projects associated with the processing and marketing of agricultural products. Grants under the Regulations must: (a) fulfil the requirements of, and be consistent with, the purposes of cited Community legislation; (b) where the investment or project in the Highland and Islands area, relate to the marketing of quality agricultural products and fall within any of the purposes set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulations; or (c) where the investment or project is in the Lowlands area, facilitate the improvement and rationalisation of processing and marketing of agricultural products and thereby contribute to increasing the competitiveness and added value of such products and meet or contribute to one or more of the objectives set out in Article 25.2 and the fourth indent of Article 33 of Council Regulation 1257/99 (reg. 3). Regulation 4 provides for the procedure for applications for grants.
