The Countryside Stewardship Regulations 1998
These Regulations, which apply to England (including the Isles of Scilly), revoke and replace the Countryside Stewardship Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/695) and all amending Regulations (1996/1481, S.I. 1996/3123 and S.I. 1997/1827) which make provision supplementing Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p.85), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2772/95 (OJ No. L288, 1.12.95, p.35) which was in turn amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1962/96 (OJ No. L259, 12.10.96, p.7) on agricultural methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside. The provisions of the instruments revoked are consolidated in these Regulations.
