Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1993, as amended (“the principal Regulations”), which comply with Council Directive 75/268/EEC on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (OJ No. L128, 19.5.75, p.1), as amended by Council Directive No.80/666/EEC (OJ No. L180, 14.7.80, p.34), and with Articles 17 to 19 of Council Regulation (EEC) No.2328/91 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (OJ No. L218, 6.8.91, p.1), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No.870/93 (OJ No. L91, 15.4.93, p.10). Those Regulations also make provision for the administration and enforcement of provisions for payment of compensatory allowances contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No.3887/92 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (OJ No. L391, 31.12.92, p.36).

These Regulations make two corrections to the drafting of regulation 3(3) and (4) of the principal Regulations relating to payment of compensatory allowances (regulation 3).

These Regulations also make minor drafting amendments to regulations 9 and 10 of the principal Regulations relating to release from the undertaking referred to in regulation 3(2) of those Regulations and to withholding or recovery of compensatory allowances (regulations 4 and 5).
