Abstract

In particular the Regulations implement Articles 13, 14 and 15 of the Council Regulation 1257/1999 (which deal with support for less favoured areas) by defining the conditions of eligibility for less favoured area compensatory allowance (regulations 3 to 6) and the rates at which it is to be paid (regulations 7 and 8 and the Schedule). Regulation 9 provides for the exclusion of forage area in respect of claimants who held milk quota at 31 March 2002. Regulation 10 confers powers of entry and inspection on persons authorised by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. Regulations 11 and 12 implement Article 64 of the Commission Regulation by granting the Department powers to withhold or recover payments and take certain other action in the event of a breach of an undertaking given by a claimant under these Regulations and in certain other events. Regulation 13 provides for the recovery of interest on sums recovered. Regulation 15 creates offences of making false or misleading statements and of obstructing persons authorised by the Department.
