The Farm Woodland Premium Scheme Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2000
These Regulations which extend to Scotland only amend the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme 1997 (S.I. 1997/829) (“the Scheme”) in consequence of the coming into force of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/99 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations (“the Rural Development Regulation”). The Rural Development Regulation applies to Community support as from 1 January 2000 and provides for Community support for rural development measures set out in the Scottish Rural Development Plan (“the Plan”) covering the 7 year period from 1 January 2000.
