(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make further amendments to the Agricultural Subsidies and Grants Schemes (Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2006, S.I. 2006/3342 (W. 303). The amendments update the list of European Union legislation covered by S.I. 2006/3342 (W. 303) as amended by S.I. 2007/2900 (W. 251) and S.I. 2010/1807 (W. 175).

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations as the amendments covered by these Regulations relate to existing arrangements for appeals.
