Explanatory note
(This note does not form part of the Regulations)
The Tir Mynydd (Wales) Regulations 2001 (“the principal Regulations”) were made by the National Assembly for Wales on the 15th February 2001.
Regulation 15 of the principal Regulations explained that: “These Regulations do not apply to holdings that include land in one or more of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as Wales.”
The current Regulations now deal with the application of the principal Regulations to “cross-border holdings”.
The principal Regulations apply to such holdings except to the extent that their application is varied by these regulations.
Similar provisions in relation to cross border holdings are included in regulations made in the other parts of the United Kingdom.
The opportunity has been taken to clarify two points in relation to the principal Regulations:—
Regulation 9 provides a closing date of 31st March 2001 for the submission of claims and supporting evidence to enable Element 2 enhancements to be calculated and paid to claimants in respect of the scheme for 2001.
Regulation 10 confirms that Tir Mynydd payments may be made to claimants who received Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowances for 2000 even if they have not claimed livestock aid in relation to sheep or suckler cows or both during the year in which the Tir Mynydd claim is submitted. The stocking requirements for Tir Mynydd will still need to be met.
