1

These Regulations make an amendment to the Suckler Cow Premium Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 (“the principal Regulations”).

2

The amendment is that, where the additional payments provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No. 2443/96 (O.J. L333, 21.12.96, p. 2) are made to successful applicants for suckler cow premium, these payments are treated for the purposes of those provisions of the principal Regulations which relate to financial control and enforcement as being suckler cow premium payments.

3

The legal base for the payment of suckler cow premium continues to be Article 4d of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 805/68 (O.J. No. L148, 28.6.68, p. 24) (O.J./SE 1968, vol. I, p. 187). Article 4d was inserted by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2066/92 (O.J. No. L215, 30.7.92, p. 49).
