Common Agricultural Policy Support Schemes (Modulation) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. of 2330 of 2004).

The amendments in these Regulations reflect the amendment of Council Regulation (EC) 1259/1999 by Commission Regulation (EC) 41/2004, which replaced the Annex to that Council Regulation. The effect is that payments under the direct support schemes introduced by Title IV of Council Regulation (EC) 1782/2003 (dairy premium and additional payments, durum wheat, protein crops, potato starch, nuts and energy crops), and under certain other direct payment schemes, will be subject to modulation in England, in addition to the direct support schemes that are already subject to modulation. Payments under the Sheep and Wildlife Enhancement Scheme, a scheme (pursuant to Article 11(1) and (2), first indent, of Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 under which payments are made to farmers to introduce and maintain sustainable levels of grazing on sites of special scientific interest, are excluded from modulation.
