Consultation on a Proposed Bill to Amend Legacy EU Common Market Organisation (CMO) Schemes The Department proposes to bring forward a small ‘Bill’, which is the name given to proposed law when introduced into the Assembly and then (after debate and approval by MLAs and then Royal Assent), becomes law as an ‘Act’. The proposal is to bring forward a Bill which will make legacy FVAS funding discretionary and provide the Department with the scope to amend the law governing these schemes so that they can be amended as needed to reflect future policy developments.
It is this narrow proposal that the Department is specifically seeking views on in this consultation. Stakeholders are also invited to consider the equality and rural impacts of this proposal.
