Fisheries and Aquaculture Structures (Grants) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (S.S.I. No. 140 of 2001).

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, supplement the Community structural assistance legislation defined and listed in regulation 2. That legislation provides, inter alia, for assistance to be paid from the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance in respect of certain categories of investments, projects and actions in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the industry sector processing and marketing its products. These Regulations provide for and regulate the payment of grants and Community aid by the Scottish Ministers towards expenditure in respect of relevant operations which the Scottish Ministers have approved in accordance with these Regulations and the Community structural assistance legislation. They lay down a procedure for applications for the approval of relevant operations and expenditure to be made and approved for the purpose of the payment of Community aid and, if the Scottish Ministers so determine, grant in addition to that aid.
