Highlands and Islands Agricultural Programme and Rural Diversification Programme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2001
The first piece of subordinate legislation is the Highlands and Islands Agricultural Programme and Rural Diversification Programme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/319). We are the lead committee for the regulations. Do members have any comments? Are members content with the regulations?
Members indicated agreement.
The regulations extend an important deadline for some farmers as a result of difficulties with the restrictions consequent to foot-and-mouth disease. It might be helpful if the Executive emphasised the importance of complying with the amended deadlines, as I am sure that those deadlines will creep up on the farmers in question. Perhaps it would be useful for the committee to convey that sentiment to the Executive—I am sure that we want everyone to take advantage of the extended deadlines.
Members indicated agreement.
Farm and Conservation Grant Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001
The next piece of subordinate legislation is the Farm and Conservation Grant Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/321). Are members happy with the regulations?
Members indicated agreement.
The same general comments apply to those regulations, as they also extend a deadline, for the same reasons.
Feeding Stuffs and the Feeding Stuffs (Enforcement) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001

Members indicated agreement.
