Regulations 6 to 9 and the Schedules make provision for the setting aside of land.(3 Schedules: derogation from the requirement to have farmed land set aside for two years (1); Management requirements in relation to land set-aside (2); Requirements in relation to land set aside for the provision of specified raw materials (3)).
