The Suckler Cow Premium Regulations 1982
Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1357/80 introduced a scheme (“the scheme”) for the payment of premiums for maintaining suckler cows. Council Regulations (EEC) No. 1417/81 and No. 1198/82 subsequently amended the scheme, and Council Regulation (EEC) 1199/82 further provided for the granting of additional premiums for maintaining suckler cows in Northern Ireland (replacing Council Regulation (EEC) 1056/81). Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1244/82 (replacing Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1581/81) laid down detailed rules implementing the scheme (as amended) in respect of applications for premiums made during the 1982/83 marketing year and successive years.
