Integrated Administration and Control System (Amendment) Regulations 2004 c.189

Integrated Administration and Control System (Amendment) Regulations 2004 No. 189

Summary:

These Regulations, which come into force on 23rd February 2004, apply to the United Kingdom and further amend the Integrated Administration and Control System Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1317)("the principal Regulations"), which made provision for the implementation in part of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3508/92 (OJ No. L355, 5.12.92, p.1). Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3508/92 established an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes in the agriculture sector.

Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 (OJ No. L270, 21.10.2003, p. 1) introduced several new support schemes for farmers. The integrated administration and control system is applied, in whole or in part, to these new schemes by virtue of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2237/2003 (OJ No. L339, 24.12.2003, p52).

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations to cover those of the new support schemes which apply in the UK, namely: protein crop premium, area payment for nuts, aid for energy crops and dairy premium and additional payments.

In particular, these Regulations:

(a) amend certain definitions to include applications for the new support schemes;

(b) set a date by which applications for dairy premium and additional payments must be made;

(c) include functions in relation to dairy premium and additional payments in the provision enabling a competent authority to arrange for any of its administration and control functions under the principal Regulations to be exercised on its behalf by another competent authority.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the cost of business.
