The Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) (Amendment) Regulations 1987
These regulations further amend the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1984 (“the principal regulations”), which implemented part of Council Directive No. 75/268/EEC (O.J. No. L128, 19.5.75, p.1) on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas, and comply with articles 13 to 15 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 797/85 (O.J. No. L93, 30.3.85, p.1), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1760/87 (O.J. No. L167, p.1), on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures. The principal regulations originally applied to the whole of the United Kingdom, but ceased to apply to Northern Ireland (where separate corresponding provisions now apply) following the coming into force of the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (S.R. 1987 No. 92). The present regulations therefore apply only to Great Britain.
