Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes (Cross-compliance) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. of 3459 of 2005).

These Regulations make provision in England for the administration and enforcement of compliance of farmers with a range of laws and standards regarding "good agricultural and environmental condition". The Secretary of State, as the competent national authority, shall be responsible for providing farmers with a list of the statutory management requirements and standards of good agricultural and environmental condition on their land. These Regulations set out the standards of good agricultural and environmental condition which will apply in England, as required by Article 5(1) of the Council Regulation No 1782/2003. The standards concern, among other things: waterlogged soil, post harvest management of land, control of grazing, control of weeds, environmental impact assessment and tree preservation.
