W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2007 No. 2398 (W.199) LANDLORD AND TENANT, WALES The Agricultural Holdings (Units of Production) (Wales) Order 2007 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order prescribes units of production for the assessment of the productive capacity of agricultural land situated in Wales and sets out the amount which is to be regarded as the net annual income from each such unit for the year 12 September 2006 to 11 September 2007 inclusive. This Order revokes the Agricultural Holdings (Units of Production) (Wales) Order 2006. An assessment of the productive capacity of agricultural land is required in determining whether or not the land in question is a "commercial unit of agricultural land" for the purposes of the succession provisions in the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986: see in particular sections 36(3) and 50(2). A "commercial unit of agricultural land" is land which, when farmed under competent management, is capable of producing a net annual income which is not less than the aggregate of the average annual earnings of two full-time male agricultural workers aged 20 years or over (paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to the 1986 Act). Article 2 of this Order provides that in determining this annual income figure, whenever a particular farming use mentioned in column 1 of the Schedule is relevant to the assessment of the productive capacity of the land in question, the units of production and the net annual income specified in columns 2 and 3 respectively will form the basis of that assessment.

Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn dirymu Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2006. Mae asesiad o gapasiti cynhyrchiol tir amaethyddol yn ofynnol wrth benderfynu a yw'r tir o dan sylw yn "uned fasnachol o dir amaethyddol" ai peidio at ddibenion y darpariaethau olynu yn Neddf Daliadau Amaethyddol 1986: gweler yn benodol adrannau 36(3) a 50(2). Mae "uned fasnachol o dir amaethyddol" yn dir sydd, pan gaiff ei ffermio o dan reolaeth gymwys, â'r gallu i gynhyrchu incwm blynyddol net nad yw'n llai nag agregiad enillion blynyddol cyfartalog dau weithiwr amaethyddol gwrywaidd amser-llawn 20 oed neu drosodd (paragraff 3 o Atodlen 6 i Ddeddf 1986). Mae erthygl 2 o'r Gorchymyn hwn yn darparu wrth benderfynu'r ffigur incwm blynyddol hwn, pryd bynnag y bydd defnydd ffermio penodol a grybwyllir yng ngholofn 1 o'r Atodlen yn berthnasol i'r asesiad o gapasiti cynhyrchiol y tir dan sylw, yr unedau cynhyrchu a'r incwm net a bennir yng ngholofnau 2 a 3 yn ôl eu trefn fydd sail yr asesiad hwnnw. 1 Mae'r ffigurau incwm blynyddol net yng ngholofn 3 o'r Atodlen yn rhagnodi'r incwm blynyddol net o un uned gynhyrchu. Mewn rhai achosion bydd yr incwm blynyddol net yn deillio o uned a fydd ar y tir am y cyfnod llawn o ddeuddeng mis. Mewn achosion eraill bydd yr incwm blynyddol net yn deillio o uned a fydd ar y tir am ran o'r flwyddyn yn unig, a gall y bydd mwy nag un gylchred gynhyrchu yn y cyfnod o ddeuddeng mis. Bydd yr asesiad o gapasiti cynhyrchu'r tir yn cymryd i ystyriaeth yr holl gynhyrchu yn ystod blwyddyn. Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn cynnwys ffigurau incwm blynyddol net ar gyfer tir a oedd yn 2005 yn hectar cymwys at ddibenion o Rheoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 1782/2003 (O.J. Rhif L270, 21.10.2003, t.1), sy'n sefydlu'r Cynllun Taliad Sengl. Mae yna ffigurau ar wahân yn yr Atodlen ar gyfer tir tan anfantais ddifrifol, tir tan anfantais a thir arall. Mae yna hefyd ffigurau ar wahân ar gyfer tir a oedd wedi'i neilltuo rhag cynhyrchu yn 2005. The net annual income figures in column 3 of the Schedule prescribe the net annual income from one unit of production. In some cases the net annual income is derived from a unit which will be on the land for the full twelve-month period. In other cases the net annual income is derived from a unit which will be on the land for only part of the year, and there may be more than one production cycle in the twelve-month period. The assessment of the productive capacity of the land will take account of the total production in the course of a year. This Order includes net annual income figures for land which was in 2005 an eligible hectare for the purposes of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003 (O.J. No. L270, 21.10.2003, p.1), which establishes the Single Payment Scheme. There are separate figures in the Schedule for severely disadvantaged land, disadvantaged land and other land. There are also separate figures for land which was set aside from production in 2005. 2 O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2007 Rhif 2398 (Cy.199) LANDLORD A THENANT, CYMRU Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2007 Wedi'i wneud 14 Awst 2007 Wedi'i osod gerbron Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru 14 Awst 2007 Yn dod i rym 7 Medi 2007 Mae Gweinidogion Cymru, drwy arfer y pwerau a roddwyd gan baragraff 4 o Atodlen 6 i Ddeddf Daliadau Amaethyddol 1986(1) ac a freiniwyd bellach ynddynt hwy(2) yn gwneud y Gorchymyn a ganlyn: Enwi, cychwyn a dehongli 1.-(1) Enw'r Gorchymyn hwn yw Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2007 a daw i rym ar [dyddiad] (2) Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn gymwys o ran Cymru.
