The Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Functions) Order 2004
This Order makes provision under section 106 of the Scotland Act 1998. It modifies functions related to the implementation of a common agricultural policy legislative instrument of the European Community, which apply to an agricultural activity by reference to a holding, and prerogative and other executive functions under section 53(2)(a) of that Act. It provides that, so far as exercisable in relation to a farmer defined for these purposes as a farmer whose holding within the United Kingdom is situated wholly or partly within Scotland (“a Scottish farmer”), the relevant functions may be exercised separately.
