# The Common Agricultural Policy Non-IACS Support Schemes (Appeals) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2015, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Non-IACS Support Schemes (Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (S.S.I. 2004/278) (“the principal Regulations”), which provide for a review of certain decisions of the Scottish Ministers in relation to decisions made under certain Common Agricultural Policy support schemes.
The decisions fall under various EU instruments under the framework of Regulation (EU) No. 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p.671). These are collectively known as “the SCMO Regulations”.
Regulation 3 amends regulation 2(1) of the principal Regulations to insert an ambulatory definition of “the SCMO Regulations” (by reference to the EU instruments set out in the Schedule to the principal Regulations, as substituted by regulation 5) and in consequence omits regulation 2(3) of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 3(1) of the principal Regulations to provide that those Regulations apply to decisions made by or on behalf of the Scottish Ministers under any of the SCMO Regulations in respect of applicants whose principal trading address was in Scotland at the date of the decision to be reviewed.
A business and regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on businesses, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
