Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2012 (S.S.I. No. 24 of 2012).

These Regulations amend the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2010 by modifying the definition of “historic land area” in regulation 9(8) and to insert a definition of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006 in regulation 2(1). In determining the historic land area for the purposes of the principal Regulations, the amendment made by regulation 4 enables account to be taken of: forage land declared by the applicant in relation to a single application in 2009 where no grazing category has been attributed for the purpose of previous less favoured area support schemes; and penalties imposed under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1975/2006 as well as Commission Regulation (EU) No. 65/2011 which repeals Regulation (EC) No. 1975.
