Abstract

Compensatory allowances are paid for breeding cows and ewes on farms in severely disadvantaged or disadvantaged land in Scotland, at specified rates (regs. 3 and 4(1) and (2), and Parts I and II of the Schedule). There are limits on the number of animals for which allowances may be paid (regs. 7 and 8) and the total amount a claimant may receive per hectare of his forage areas (Part III of the Schedule).The Regulations impose penalties for unsuitable supplementary feeding methods (regs. 7(3) and (4) and 8(3) and (4)) and for overgrazing (reg. 10). Regulations 14 and 15 contain powers of enforcement, regulation 17 provides for withholding or recovery of compensatory allowances where there is a breach of the rules of the Scheme, and regulations 19 to 22 deal with offences and penalties.
