(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations make provision in Northern Ireland for the administration of Council Regulations (EC) No. 73/2009 (O.J. L30, 31.01.2009, p 16), and other associated Community instruments in relation to direct support schemes under the Common Agricultural Policy.

These Regulations replace and substitute regulation 7 (Transfers) of the principal Regulations by removing provisions relating to the requirement for the transfer of payment entitlements within specified time limits and replacing them with the requirement for the transfer of payment entitlements to be communicated by the transferor by 2 May 2014.
