Common Agricultural Policy (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (SSI 2018/122)
Item 4 is consideration of instruments that are subject to negative procedure. Scottish statutory instrument 2018/122 makes various technical provisions to implement regulation (EU) 2017/2393. There is a drafting error in the regulations. The provision defines “established local practices” for the purposes of paragraph (2)(b) of the new regulation 5, but the definition is contained in paragraph (2)(a).
Does the committee agree to draw the regulations to the attention of Parliament on the general reporting ground, as there is a drafting error in the new regulation 5(3) of the Common Agricultural Policy (Direct Payments etc) (Scotland) Regulations 2015, as inserted by regulation 4 of the 2018 regulations?
Members indicated agreement.
Does the committee wish to note that the Scottish Government intends to correct the error by means of a correction slip?
Members indicated agreement.
