Abstract

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by adding a further power of inspection to authorized persons (reg. 3(a), (b) and (c)); by requiring intention or recklessness on the part of the beneficiary as a precondition of the exercise by the Minister of the power to require the beneficiary to pay a penalty equal to ten percent of the sums paid or payable to him; by applying that power in relation to cases where the payment would duplicate assistance provided out of monies made available by the European Communities, Parliament or a body exercising public functions; and by creating certain summary offences, i.e. knowingly or recklessly making false or misleading statements for the purposes of obtaining financial assistance, and of intentionally obstructing an authorized person, under the Hill Farm Allowance Regulations 2001 and the Organic Farming (England Rural Development Programme) Regulations 2001 (reg. 3(e) to (h)).
