# The Common Agricultural Policy Single Farm Payment and Support Schemes (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2005, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: S

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Farm Payment and Support Schemes (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”).
They update references to Community instruments in the principal Regulations to refer to Commission Regulations (EC) No. 394/2005 (O.J. No. L 63, 10.3.2005, p.17), (EC) No. 118/2005 (O.J. No. L 24, 27.1.2005, p.15) and (EC) No. 606/2005 (O.J. No. L 100, 20.4.2005, p.15) (“Regulation 606/2005”) (regulation 2(2)(a)(ii) and (iii)).
They amend regulation 6 of the principal Regulations to authorise farmers to make use of the possibility introduced by Regulation 606/2005 to fix two different dates for the beginning of the 10 month period for which parcels of eligible land have to be at the farmer’s disposal to qualify for the Single Farm Payment Scheme (regulation 2(3)).
The Regulations also correct minor errors in the definitions and revocations in the principal Regulations (regulation 2(2)(a)(i) and (b) and (4)).
A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the cost of business.
