  "text": "These regulations, made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, further amend the Farm and Horticulture Development Regulations 1981 (implementing Council Directive No. 72/159/EEC (O.J./S.E. 1972 (II), p. 324)) on the modernisation of farms, and Council Directive 75/268/EEC on mountain and hill farming in certain less-favoured areas.\nThese regulations affect the payment of grant towards expenditure incurred in connection with permanent buildings, bulk dry stores or silos used for the drying or storage of grain. Unless the grain is intended solely for consumption by livestock kept on the land used in connection with the carrying on of the agricultural business to which the claim for grant relates (in which case the former grant rates are applicable) the appropriate rates on or after the coming into operation of these regulations will be 15 per cent (20 per cent in less-favoured areas) in the case of a development plan originally received before 1st February 1980, or 22.5 per cent (27.5 per cent in less-favoured areas) in the case of a development plan originally received between that date and 30th September 1980, the closing date under the Scheme (regulations 4, 5 and 6).\nThe regulations do not, however, apply to any item already approved before 1st July 1983 in an approved development plan or variation under the principal regulations, or to any expenditure incurred for the purposes of those regulations before that date (regulation 2).",
