The Crofting Counties Agricultural Grants (Scotland) Amendment Scheme 2011
Made 31st May 2011
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 2nd June 2011

The Scottish Ministers make the following Scheme in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and all other powers enabling them to do so.

This Scheme makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for references in this Scheme and the Scheme it is varying to the Commission Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, as regards the implementation of control procedures as well as cross-compliance in respect of rural development support measures to be construed as references to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
