# The Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1995, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1 These Regulations amend the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2740, as already amended by S.I. 1995/100).
2 The amendments made by these Regulations to S.I. 1994/2740 are as follows:
(a) there are substituted for the existing definitions of the phrases concerned revised definitions of “breeding cow” and “the qualifying day” ;
(b) the definition of “ECU” is further amended;
(c) the rates of payment of compensatory allowances for both cattle and sheep are further revised;
(d) the retention period for cattle—the period for which breeding cows have to be held by the claimant before he is eligible to claim a compensatory allowance for them—is increased from four to six months;
(e) the retention period for sheep—the period for which ewes have to be held by the claimant before he is eligible to claim a compensatory allowance for them—is brought into line with that applicable to the Sheep Annual Premium Scheme (see Article 1(2) and (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2700/93, OJ No. L245, 1.10.93, p.99, and regulation 3(2) of the Sheep Annual Premium Regulations 1992, S.I. 1992/2677, amended by S.I. 1994/2741);
(f) the existing regulation 7 (claims for compensatory allowances) is replaced with a new regulation 7, setting out revised conditions for making claims for compensatory allowances for cattle and sheep;
(g) regulation 6 (dealing with overgrazing) is amended in the light of the revised claim periods set out in the new regulation 7.
3 It is provided by these Regulations that claims for compensatory allowances made in respect of 1995 are to be governed by S.I. 1994/2740 as in force immediately before the coming into force of these Regulations.
4 A compliance cost assessment has been prepared and has been deposited in the Library of each House of Parliament.
