Abstract

These Regulations make provision in Scotland for the administration of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 and other associated Community instruments, in relation to direct support schemes under the Common Agricultural Policy. The Regulations, among other things: designate the competent national authority that shall provide farmers under Article 4(2) of the Council Regulation with a list of the statutory management requirements specified in Annex III of the Regulation and the standards of good agricultural and environmental condition that they must respect; designate the Scottish Ministers as the competent control authority; set out the minimum requirements of good agricultural and environmental condition in relation to agricultural land in Scotland under Article 6(1) of the Council Regulation; and give the Scottish Ministers the power to prohibit farmers from converting land under permanent pasture and to oblige farmers to reconvert land to permanent pasture where the exercise of those powers is necessary to meet the requirements of Articles 3 and 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1122/2009.
