The principal Regulations make provision for the administration of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 (O.J. No. L270, 21.10.2003, p.1) ("the Council Regulation"), Commission Regulation (EC) No. 795/2004 (O.J. No. L 141, 30.4.2004, p.1) ("Commission Regulation 795/2004") and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 796/2004 (O.J. L141, 30.4.2004, p.18) ("Commission Regulation 796/2004") in relation to establishing a new system of direct support schemes (including the Single Payment Scheme) under the Common Agricultural Policy. This new system came into effect on 1 January 2005. These regulations update references in the principal Regulations to the Commission Regulation 795/2004 and Commission Regulation 796/2004 to reflect the amendments that have been made to those regulations since the coming into force of the principal Regulations (regulation 3). They also substitute a new regulation 6 in the principal Regulations so as to authorise farmers to make use of the possibility, introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 606/2005, to fix two different dates for the beginning of the 10 month period in respect of which parcels of eligible land have to be at a farmer's disposal for the purposes of the single payment scheme (regulation 4).
