  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations, which come into force on 16th December 1999, provide for enforcement of the rules of the United Kingdom’s Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowances Schemes in 2000 in England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland and Scotland where a farm includes land there as well as land in another of the United Kingdom’s four jurisdictions. They re-enact, with minor and drafting amendments, the enforcement provisions of the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1996, as amended. The rules of the Schemes for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are laid down in separate regulations.\nThe Regulations comply with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1750/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF). Compensatory allowances are paid in compliance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2603/1999 laying down rules for the transition to the rural development support provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999.\nRegulations 4 and 5 contain powers of entry, inspection and collection of evidence and regulations 6 to 9 deal with offences and penalties.\nNo Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.",
