Regulation 8 Restrictions on acceptance of applications
The Secretary of State shall not accept an application from an applicant who occupies the farm as a tenant unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that such applicant has notified the landlord in writing of the making of such application.
The Secretary of State may refuse to accept an application where he is satisfied that–
the use of any land in accordance with the proposals contained in that application would frustrate the purposes of any assistance previously given or to be given out of money provided by Parliament or by the European Community; or
payment of aid under these Regulations in respect of any land on which an applicant proposes to carry on organic farming would duplicate any assistance previously given or to be given out of money provided by Parliament or by the European Community.
