Abstract

These Regulations amend the Organic Aid (Scotland) Regulations which implement in part Council Regulation (EC) No. 2078/92 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside. The Regulations provide as regards arable land that aid shall be payable only in respect of such land eligible under the Arable Area Payments Regulations 1996 ("eligible arable land")(reg. 4). They increase the maximum area in respect of which aid may be paid from 300 hectares per holding to 1,000 hectares per holding (reg. 5). Within that maximum, payment may not be made in respect of more than 300 hectares of eligible arable land or improved grassland, taken together or separately. The Regulations provide rates of payment of aid in respect of eligible arable land and improved grassland as set out in the Schedule below and make minor drafting changes (reg. 6).
