These Regulations amend the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1992 which comply with Council Directive 75/268/EEC (OJ No. L128, 19.5.75, p.1) on mountain and hill farming in certain less-favoured areas, and with articles 17 to 19 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2328/91 (OJ No. L218, 6.8.91, p.1) on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures.

The Regulations, which extend to Great Britain, lower the compensatory allowances payable per ewe in respect of ewes of approved breeds in specially qualified flocks and other ewes maintained on severely disadvantaged land (to £6.50 and £3.60 respectively), and raise the allowance payable per ewe in respect of ewes maintained on disadvantaged land (to £2.86) (regulation 3).
