These Regulations, which apply in England only, are made in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1954/2005 (OJ No L 314, 30.11.2005, p 10) (“the Commission Regulation”). They disapply Article 1 of the Commission Regulation with regard to payments to be made in respect of the year 2005 under the Single Payment Scheme and various other aid schemes established in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (OJ No L 270, 21.10.2003, p 1).
