## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
By this Order, which comes into force on 1st August 2001, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food jointly with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and concurrently with the National Assembly for Wales, with the consent of the Scottish Ministers, approve a Scheme which further varies that approved by the Home-Grown Cereals AuthorityLevy (Approval) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/671), as varied by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy (Variation) Scheme (Approval) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/1316), the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy (Variation) Scheme (Approval) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1302) and the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy (Variation) Scheme (Approval) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/2843).
The change made by this Scheme is to increase the proportion (from 3.7 per cent to 5 per cent) which may be deducted by a dealer from any levy he is required to pay (towards which he is entitled to recover a contribution from a grower or agent intermediary) in respect of the expenses of the recovery of that contribution (Article 2).
A Home-Grown Cereals Authority (Rate of Levy) Order is made annually specifying the rate of levy for each of the kinds of home-grown cereals in respect of which levy is to be imposed.
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared and has been deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
