The Agricultural Wages (Abolition of Permits to Infirm and Incapacitated Persons) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006
These Regulations implement provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27th November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (O.J. No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p. 16) in so far as it relates to disability discrimination in the payment of agricultural wages. They are also a consequence of the revocation of regulation 6 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (SR 1996 No 419) by regulation 3 of the Disability Discrimination (Employment Field) (Leasehold Premises) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (SR 2004 No 374).
