Abstract

These Regulations, which apply to Wales, contain the provisions of a new agri-environment scheme implementing in part a zonal programme approved by the European Commission under Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2078/92 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements for the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside. The Regulations provide for payments of aid to be made at any time during or after the agreement year (reg. 6(1) and (2)), to any person who enters a Tir Gofal agreement (as defined in regulation 2(1)) with the Countryside Council for Wales requiring him to follow the general environmental conditions set out in Schedule 1 and to carry out management and capital activities which are conducive to a specified purpose (as defined in regulation 2(1)) on land in which he has an interest (regs. 3 and 4). A Tir Gofal agreement may include a special project activity. The Regulations also make provision in relation to a change of occupation to the land to which a Tir Gofal agreement relates (reg. 8) and impose an obligation on a Tir Gofal agreement holder to permit entry and inspection (reg. 10).
