These Regulations supplement the Community legislation as defined and listed in regulation 2. The Community legislation provides, inter alia for assistance in respect of certain categories of investments, projects and actions in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the industry sector processing and marketing its products. These Regulations provide for and regulate the payment of grants and Community aid by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure towards expenditure in respect of relevant operations. The Regulations (regs. 3, 4 and 5) lay down a procedure for applications for approval of relevant operations and expenditure to be made and approved for the purpose of the payment of Community aid and, if the relevant Department so determines, grant in addition to that aid. In determining whether to pay grant in addition to Community aid and, if it determines to pay such grant, the amount thereof, the relevant Department is required to have regard to the requirements of the Community legislation (reg. 3).
