Abstract

These Regulations amend the Organic Farming Regulations which provide for the payment of aid to farmers who undertake to introduce organic farming methods and comply with certain environmental management conditions, pursuant to Article 2(1)(a) and (d) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2078/92. This Regulation was repealed by Article 55(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/99, but, by virtue of Article 55(3) of the latter Regulation, the Agri-environment Regulation continues to apply to actions approved by the Commission before 1st January 2000. These Regulations further amend the principal Regulations to extend the application period by postponing the final date for receipt of applications to 1st December 1999. The period between the coming into force of S.I. 1999/2735 and the coming into force of these Regulations is not to be taken into account in calculating the three month period prescribed by regulation 6(2), that is to say the period beginning with the issue of a certificate of registration, and within which applications must be received by the Minister.
