These Regulations make provision in Northern Ireland for the administration and enforcement of compliance of farmers with a range of laws and standards regarding "good agricultural and environmental condition". The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, as the competent national authority, shall be responsible for providing farmers with a list of the statutory management requirements and standards of good agricultural and environmental condition on their land. These Regulations set out the standards of good agricultural and environmental condition which will apply in Northern Ireland, as required by Article 5(1) of the Council Regulation No 1782/2003. The standards concern: soil management, supplementary feeding, overgrazing, undergrazing, field boundaries, protection of semi-natural habitats and historic monuments, compliance with various statutory provisions, new works, and burning of ground cover.
