These Regulations supplement in respect of Northern Ireland the Community legislation listed in the Schedule to the Regulations. The Community legislation inter alia provides for support to be paid from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund towards investment for the improvement of the processing and marketing of agricultural products. These Regulations operate within the scope of these provisions to enable Community support to be paid towards expenditure incurred in connection with operations involving such improvements. The Regulations also provide for the making of claims for, and the payment of, grants following approval and also contain provisions creating obligations on those in receipt of grants concerning the provision of information and record-keeping. In addition they provide for measures of enforcement.
