These Regulations amend the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2010 by modifying the definition of “historic land area” in regulation 9(8) and to insert a definition of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006 in regulation 2(1). In determining the historic land area for the purposes of the principal Regulations, the amendment made by regulation 4 enables account to be taken of: forage land declared by the applicant in relation to a single application in 2009 where no grazing category has been attributed for the purpose of previous less favoured area support schemes; and penalties imposed under Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1975/2006 as well as Commission Regulation (EU) No. 65/2011 which repeals Regulation (EC) No. 1975.
