The Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3(1)(a) of the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 (c. 2) ("the 2020 Act") in order to enable retained EU law governing the CAP direct payment schemes for the claim year 2020 to operate effectively and to address other deficiencies arising from the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.
