The Rules for Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3(1), (7) and (9) of the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 (“the Act”) in order to enable retained EU law governing the CAP direct payment schemes for claim year 2020 to operate effectively and to address other deficiencies arising from the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
