EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the definition of "moorland" in the Common Agricultural Policy Single Payment and Support Schemes Regulations 2005 ("the 2005 Regulations"). The 2005 Regulations defined moorland by reference to the Moorland Map of England 1992. That map was reviewed in 2005 and 2006 and a new map, called the "Moorland Map of England 2006" was compiled. The definition of "moorland" in the 2005 Regulations is accordingly amended by these Regulations to refer to the Moorland Map of England 2006.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as they have no impact on the costs of business.
