Slaughter Premium Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001
These Regulations, which come into operation on 6th June 2001, lay down implementing measures for the slaughter premium scheme for bovine animals introduced by Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1254/1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (O.J. No. L160, 26.6.1999, p. 21). The Regulations provide for the administration of the scheme in relation to holdings in Northern Ireland and also holdings situated partly in Northern Ireland and partly elsewhere in the United Kingdom, where the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is responsible for processing the farmer’s claim for slaughter premium (regulations 3 to 11). They also lay down enforcement provisions in relation to holdings or parts of holdings in Northern Ireland (regulations 13 to 20).
