Abstract

These Regulations implement Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1750/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF). In particular they implement Article 48(2) of the Commission Regulation (which requires member States to determine a system of penalties to be imposed in the event of a breach of obligations) by granting the Minister powers to withhold or recover payments and take certain other action, including termination of the commitment, in the event of a breach of an undertaking to comply with any condition of payment by the Minister under specified enactments, and in certain other events (regs. 4, 5 and 6). The enactments are those specified in the Schedule, all of which implement provisions of the Council Regulation and the England Rural Development Programme approved by the Commission under Article 44 of the Council Regulation. Regulation 7 provides power to recover interest on sums recovered. The Regulations also create offences in respect of the furnishing of false information for obtaining aid and obstruction (reg. 9).
