(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Environmentally Sensitive Areas (Test Valley) Designation Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/459) ("the principal Order"), which designated an area in the Test Valley as an environmentally sensitive area. The principal Order designated Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92 (OJ No. L215, 30.7.92, p. 85) on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2772/95 (OJ No. L288, 1.12.95, p. 35), as in turn rectified by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1962/96 (OJ No. L259, 12.10.96, p. 7).

Subject to a saving provision, this Order amends the maximum rate of payment to be made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in respect of the management of wet grassland.

No regulatory appraisal has been made in respect of this Order.
