This Order amends the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Exmoor) Designation Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/83) (“the principal Order”), which designated an area in Exmoor as an environmentally sensitive area in implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p. 85) on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2772/95 (OJ No. L288, 1.12.95, p. 35) as in turn rectified by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1962/96 (OJ No. L259, 12.10.96, p. 7).

This Order corrects several errors in the principal Order introduced by the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Exmoor) Designation (Amendment) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/1302).

No regulatory appraisal has been made in respect of this Order.
