Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Agricultural Subsidies and Grants Schemes (Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2006 to remove the maximum £100 fee limit that the Welsh Ministers can currently charge persons whose appeal relates to the basic payment scheme, the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy or support for rural development. For these appeals, the Welsh Ministers can charge such fee as they may determine.
