sectIon A : IntRoDuctIon

Common land in Wales plays an important role as an agricultural, environmental, recreational and cultural resource. Common Land forms an important element of the farming tradition, particularly as a grazing resource, which plays a key role in the management of important landscapes and habitats.

The Glastir Commons contract will be separate to a Glastir Entry contract that may be held by the applicant for the home farm land. It is a five year contractual commitment available to applicants who hold rights on common land and who have joined together to establish a Grazing Association. It may also be available on unenclosed land used by multiple graziers concurrently which has the characteristics of common land (e.g. unenclosed upland, rough grazing etc) subject to approval by technical officers of the Welsh Government. It provides applicants with the choice of options based on managing stocking levels or the selection of a closed winter period.

Glastir Commons is provided for under the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007 to 2013 and is jointly funded by the Welsh Government and the European Commission (EC). It is governed by the Rural Development Programmes (Wales) Regulations 2006 ((Statutory Instrument) 2006 No. 3343 (W.304)), Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005, Council Regulation (EC) No. 1974/2006 and (EC) No. 65/2011 (as amended from time to time). Copies of these Regulations are available on the Welsh Government website at www.wales.gov.uk or can be requested from Welsh Government Divisional Offices.

As the European legislation is amended on a regular basis, the Welsh Government cannot guarantee that the Glastir rules (which derive from European legislation) contained in this booklet will not be subject to change. The Welsh Government will publicise the changes in Gwlad, on their website and where necessary contact applicants.

The Welsh Government may terminate contracts at the end of this Rural Development Plan period 2007 to 2013 or any subsequent Rural Development Plan periods due to changes in the Rural Development Plan for Wales.

sectIon B: elIGIBIlIty ReQuIRements

Applicants applying for Glastir Commons must meet all the following eligibility criteria:

i. Have registered the Grazing Association with the Welsh Government as a customer and have been issued with a Customer Reference Number (CRN).

ii. Have submitted an Expression of Interest for Glastir Commons.

iii. All eligible land must be registered with the Welsh Government’s Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS).

iv. Have a minimum of 3 hectares of eligible land. See paragraphs regarding eligible and ineligible land below.

v. Form a Grazing Association, which must have legal status prior to signing the Glastir Commons contract. See Annex 5 regarding Grazing Associations.

vi. The Grazing Association must comprise a minimum of 80% of active graziers on the land entered into the Glastir Commons.

eligible land

The following land is eligible for entry into the Glastir Commons:

• Land legally registered as common land under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and used by multiple graziers.

• Unenclosed land used by multiple graziers concurrently which has the characteristics of common land (e.g. unenclosed upland, rough grazing etc) and not registered under the Commons Registration Act 1965. Inclusion of these areas will be determined on a case by case basis following technical assessment by the Welsh Government.

For the purposes of this document all eligible land entered into the Glastir Commons contract will be referred to as “contract land”.

sectIon B: elIGIBIlIty ReQuIRements

Ineligible land

The following land is not eligible for entry into the Glastir Commons:

• Land used for non-agricultural activity including developed land, permanent caravan sites, carparks, gallops, airports, areas used for permanent storage, buildings and yards, hard standings, ponds, roads, scree/rock outcrops/boulders, ungrazed tracks, golf courses and other sporting facilities.

• Common land managed by a sole active grazier. For example, there may be some areas of registered common land which are used and claimed by a single grazier who holds sole “active” grazing rights. In such circumstances, this land must be included within the Glastir Entry (GE).

• Part field parcels.

• Land located outside Wales.

• Land with less than 5 years management control.

• Common land in a Tir Gofal agreement which is active on 1 January 2014.

Successful applicants meeting all eligibility criteria and who have signed a Glastir Commons contract will be required to fulfil these conditions for the duration of the contractual commitment. The conditions will be set out within the contract and will include the following:

i. Comply with the requirements of Cross Compliance. Details of Cross Compliance are available on the Welsh Government website www.wales.gsi.gov.uk or from Divisional Offices.

ii. Comply with the Glastir Commons Code.

iii. Deliver the selected management option as set out in the Glastir Commons contract.

iv. Take management responsibility and control for the entire contract land to enable the obligations of the contract to be fulfilled.

v. Where no physical parcel boundaries exist to the contract land, the boundary must be clearly identifiable on the ground from the start of the contract. Grazing Associations should determine the most appropriate method to identify external boundaries of the contract land, for example cutting a swath or the installation markers such as stones or posts can be used. There is no set distance for the positioning of the markers, but the markers must be in line of sight of each other. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to consult with organisations such as Natural Resources Wales (NRW), National Parks or Local Authorities prior to delineating the boundary of the contract land. For example, it is likely that consent will be required from NRW if the land has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

vi. Maintain a minimum of 80% of active graziers on the contract land throughout the contract period.

An active grazier is defined as:

• Commoners with rights and who turn out stock to graze the common land;

• Commoners who are not exercising rights of common because they have agreed to withdraw their stock under a management agreement;

• Commoners who have recently ceased to exercise their rights of common because for example, of control measures during foot-and-mouth disease;

• Persons who graze non registered unenclosed land, defined within this booklet as eligible land to enter the scheme.

vii. For those Grazing Associations who have selected the Management of Stocking Levels Option, they

must maintain a daily stocking diary (on a spreadsheet) of livestock movements on and off the contract land. See Section below on record keeping requirements.

viii. For those Grazing Associations who have selected the Closed Winter Period Option, they must maintain a stocking diary (on a spreadsheet) detailing livestock movements off the contract land for the start of the closed winter period and when the livestock have been moved back on to the contract land. See Section below on record keeping requirements.

ix. Maintain a record (on a spreadsheet) of members’ details and other active graziers on the contract land. See Section below on record keeping requirements.

Records Kept by Grazing Association

Each Grazing Association will be required to keep a stocking diary (spreadsheet), to be submitted annually prior to payment; presented at inspection and made available if requested by the Welsh Government and its authorised officers. This is in order to provide evidence that the stocking level is maintained within the maximum limits set. This diary will need to include animal movements for those graziers not included within the Grazing Association. In situations where the Grazing Association has not reached an agreement with non-members regarding the recording of livestock, they must assume non-members will utilise their grazing rights in full. Therefore the maximum grazing rights of those non-members should be used on the stocking diary for every day of the year as a baseline.

A template for the required record keeping will be made available for successful Grazing Associations to utilise.

For Grazing Associations who have selected the management of stocking levels option, the following requirements apply:

The Membership Details of the Grazing Association must include:

• Names of active graziers within the Grazing Association.

• Names of non-active graziers within the Grazing Association.

• Active graziers who are not members of Grazing Association.

• When members joined and left the Grazing Association (since the start of the contract).

The Stocking Diary must:

• Detail the actual number of livestock on the Contract Land for any one day in the calendar year.

• Identify all individual active graziers’ stock movements on and off the contract land.

• Identify stock movements on and off the Contract Land including the livestock of those outside of the Grazing Association.

• Record animals by their categories (e.g. yearlings, dry ewes etc) so that livestock factors are taken into account. If animals have not been recorded by categories, the Welsh Government will assume the highest Livestock Unit.

For Grazing Associations who have selected the closed Winter Period option, the following requirements apply:

The Membership Details of the Grazing Association must include:

• Names of active graziers within the Grazing Association.

• Names of non-active graziers within the Grazing Association.

• Active graziers who are not members of Grazing Association.

• When members joined and left the Grazing Association (since the start of the contract).


6

The Stocking Diary must detail for each grazier:

• Livestock movements off the contract land for the start of the closed winter period.

• Livestock movements onto the contract land after the end of the closed winter period.

Glastir commons code

Each Grazing Association must abide by the Glastir Commons Code. Please note that some of the requirements listed below are governed by Cross Compliance:

i. Retain all existing traditional boundaries including earth banks, dry stone walls, hedges and slate fencing.

ii. Retain all archaeological and historical features including earth works, standing stones, hill forts, burial mounds, hut circles, sheepfolds and grouse butts.

iii. Retain all geological sites and rock features including cliff, rock outcrops, scree and shingle.

iv. Do not install any new drainage or ditching or modify/reopen any existing drainage or ditching.

v. Do not cut or remove any peat or sediment unless the applicant has the rights to do so.

vi. Do not cause rutting of the land through the inappropriate use of machinery.

vii. Burning is only permitted in accordance with Heather & Grass burning regulations. Do not burn blanket bog. Consent is required from Natural Resources Wales before undertaking any burning on Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) , Special Areas of Converstaion (SAC) or Special Protection Areas (SPA).

viii. Maintain all existing native woodland and scrub, ponds, scrapes, rivers and streams.

ix. Ploughing, cultivation or reseeding is not permitted except on existing improved grazing or cultivated land.

x. Applications of lime, inorganic and organic fertiliser (including manure or slag) are not permitted except on existing improved grazing or cultivated land.

xi. Comply with legal requirements relating to existing public rights of way that are on the land, including avoiding obstructing them. Access must be allowed on foot to all land identified as available for such access on the maps prepared under the Countryside Rights of Way Act, 2000.

xii. Comply with the requirements on supplementary feeding on all contract land. See Section on supplementary Feeding below.


7

supplementary Feeding

Supplementary feeding is only permitted under specific or extreme circumstances, detailed below. If supplementary feeding must be carried out, it must be delivered in such a way that avoids causing damage to the vegetation, soil and watercourses and includes overgrazing; nutrient enrichment; excessive trampling of vegetation; soil poached by grazing animals or rutted by vehicles used to transport feed; soil erosion and water pollution.

Supplementary feeding is permitted where this practice is required specifically for the welfare of livestock. Adverse weather conditions and meeting the nutritional demands of heavily pregnant animals are likely to trigger a need for the provision of supplementary feed.

Adverse weather is defined as the period when the available vegetation is covered by snow or is subjected to continuous hard frost, prolonged drought or prolonged heavy rainfall. Supplementary feeding will be permitted where access to forage is severely restricted during adverse weather conditions, provided it is supplied without causing environmental damage and the welfare of livestock is not compromised.

Supplementary feeding is required when the available grazing (quantity and/or quality) does not meet the nutritional requirements of the grazing animals. This could result from the increased demands of ewes during late pregnancy and early lactation compared to their maintenance requirements, from high levels of stocking and/or higher than normal lambing rates. In some circumstances, supplementary feeding can be avoided by reducing the levels of grazing and, for sheep, by removing ewes in late pregnancy (last 8 weeks before lambing) from the common. This is particularly relevant to ewes carrying more than one lamb.

main Requirements:

Only the feeds from the following list can be used on Contract Land and the ration fed should be appropriate for the category of animals being fed:

• Hay (to be scattered).

• Haylage (preserved grass with a dry matter content of at least 60%) (to be scattered).

• Compound feed.

• Dried sugar beet feed (nut form only); not allowed where equines can access the supplementary feed.

• Feed blocks & liquid feed in suitable containers.

When feeding a concentrated feed, all stock should have adequate access and be able to eat at the same time.

• Move feed locations on a daily basis.

• Supplementary feeding sites must avoid vegetation which is sensitive to damage and nutrient enrichment. Sensitive vegetation types include blanket bog, heather, bilberry and other heaths, species rich grassland, native broadleaf woodland (where woodland contains more than 50% native species) and mires.

• Do not feed on or next to archaeological sites, steep slopes, public rights of way and site feed locations at least 10 metres from any watercourse.


8

• Bale feeders and troughs must not be used on the contract land at any time.

• Remove plastic from the contract land once feed has been dispensed.

other Restrictions

Glastir Commons applicants should be aware that the practice of supplementary feeding may be restricted:

• under the terms of a statutory designations e.g. Sights of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

• by the landowners.

• by custom as declared by Commoners Association/Group.

common land management options

Each Grazing Association applying to enter Glastir Commons will need to select and adhere to one of the following Land Management Options which will apply for the period of the contract.

option 1: management of stocking levels option 2: closed Winter Period

option 1: management of stocking levels

Management of stocking levels is based on achieving a year round sustainable stocking level for the land brought into the contract which includes an allowance for winter grazing.

To determine the sustainable stocking level for the common land, the Welsh Government has used information from the National Vegetation Classification Phase 1 Uplands Survey to identify vegetation on the common land, and determine the area in hectares of each habitat type. This information is used to calculate the maximum grazing levels for the land entered into the contract, based on the stocking levels for each habitat type. Annexes 1 and 2 show the habitat types and the stocking levels in Livestock Units (LU) per hectare.

The maximum stocking level to be applied across the whole contract land will be pre-printed at Section 4 of the Glastir Commons application form.

the Grazing Association may either abide by the standard stocking level or the Flexible stocking level:

a. standard stocking level Approach

Under this approach, the maximum stocking levels will be calculated on a quarterly basis and will be provided in LUs in Section 4 of the Glastir Commons application form. The Grazing Association will commit to keeping on or below the quarterly maximum stocking levels on every day during the quarter. Please note that these stocking levels are not an average, but a maximum ceiling which cannot be exceeded on any day.

The quarterly periods are as follows: 1 January to 31 March 1 April to 30 June 1 July to 30 September 1 October to 31 December

b. Flexible stocking level Approach

Under this approach, an annual average stocking maximum will be provided. In addition, a summer and winter maximum average stocking rate will be provided. The Grazing Association may exceed either the winter or the summer average stocking level by up to 20% of the annual average stocking rate, but in doing so the Grazing Association would need to reduce the other grazing period in order to ensure that the stocking level across the whole year remains within the annual average stocking maximum. This flexibility allows for the different grazing patterns that occur on common land, both regionally and at different altitudes across Wales.


10

The summer and winter periods are set as follows across the calendar year:

• Winter grazing periods 1 January to 31 March 1 October to 31 December

• Summer grazing period 1 April to 30 September

Important note: The 20% increase on either the winter or summer stocking levels has already been calculated and is included in the figures pre-printed in the Flexible Stocking Levels table at Section 4 of the Glastir Commons application form.

Forward stocking schedule

In order to demonstrate that the above requirements are met, the Grazing Association must complete a forward stocking schedule on the Glastir Commons application form. This must state the maximum number of LUs that will be on the contract land at any day of the year.

The maximum stocking levels provided will be a contractual commitment and must be adhered to throughout the contract period. If the Grazing Association wishes to change the forward stocking schedule in subsequent years, they must submit a request to their Divisional Office in writing by 1 October.

Deviations from the forward stocking schedule due to unforeseen circumstances must be notified to the Welsh Government where appropriate in advance, but no later than the day of the change.

The following table below shows the conversion factor to be used:

livestock livestock units (lu)

Yearling 0.09Ewe /ram lamb 0.09Ewe with lamb at foot 0.15Dry ewes (including in-lamb ewes) 0.12Rams 0.12Cattle up to 6 months 0.0Cattle over 24 months 1Cattle 6 to 24 months 0.6Horses 1.0Ponies 0.5Foals 0.0

The Grazing Association will need to provide the dates when they intend to move stock on and off the contract land (gathering and turn-out dates) at Section 6 of the Glastir Commons Application Form.


11

Appeals

Grazing Associations which wish to appeal against their common’s stocking density should first discuss the issue with their CDO. The CDO will be able to advise whether the basis for the calculation may be incorrect for the habitats actually present on the land. Information should be provided about why the stocking density is thought to be incorrect so that it can be re-assessed by Welsh Government technical advisers. This information should be submitted in writing to your Divisional Office. A map must also be submitted with the appeal showing the correct habitat type present in the areas in question.

option 2: closed Winter Period

The Grazing Association must undertake to ensure the removal of all livestock from the contract land for a pre-specified continuous 90 day period between 1 November and 31 March each year. The Grazing Association will nominate the chosen 90 day period on the Glastir Commons application form. In the event that the Grazing Association wishes to change the closed period start date in subsequent years then they must notify the Welsh Government of the new date in writing at least 28 days before the stock free period is due to begin.

A derogation will be available within this option to allow ‘Semi-feral Welsh Mountain Section A ponies’ that are managed through the Hill Pony Improvement Society of Wales and Cymdeithas Merlod y Carneddau to remain on the common during this period. For further background information on this and the Horse Passports (Wales) Regulations 2005, and as amended, please see the details under ‘Equine Identification & the Semi-feral Ponies of Wales’ at Annex 3.

The Grazing Association is not required to submit a claim form annually as the Welsh Government will calculate the payment on the basis of the land details contained in the contract on 15 May. If there has been a change to the contract details since it was issued, the Grazing Association must contact their Divisional Office immediately so that the claim can be adjusted accordingly.

The Grazing Association must also submit a stocking diary to be received by the Divisional Office by 8 October showing actual stocking for the 9 month period (1 January to 30 September 2013). In subsequent years, the stocking diary would cover the previous 12 month period (2 October to 30 September).

Prior to payment, administrative checks will be conducted following the submission by the Grazing Association of the stocking diary.

Payments will only be made following successful validation of the commitments forming part of the contract.

Payment Rates

Payment Payment Rate / hectareLand Management £34.00*Transaction Cost - up to 500 ha £6.00

*This payment rate is for transaction costs associated with the setting up and running of the Grazing Association. In order to receive this additional transaction cost, the Grazing Association must have been set up for the purposes of Glastir Commons.

Total area eligible for payment will be calculated annually as the total mapped area of the contract land, less any Glastir ineligible permanent features.

Payments will be made to the Grazing Association, unless the Grazing Association has opted to have individual active graziers paid directly. However the additional work involved in paying individuals will mean that more time is required to process payments. Where the Grazing Association has opted to have individuals paid directly, the contract will still be held with the Grazing Association. Each year a payment statement will be issued to all Grazing Associations. This will include details of any breaches, penalties or recoveries deducted from the total payment.

sectIon F – GeneRAl InFoRmAtIon

17

legislation changes (including changes to interpretation)

European Regulations may change from time to time and Grazing Associations must abide by any changes imposed following notification.

changes to scheme Rules

The Welsh Government may need to make contractual changes, for example, to amend scheme rules to take account of any changes within the Wales Rural Development Plan or revise payment rates. The Welsh Government will publicise the changes in Gwlad (the latest agricultural news and information from the Welsh Government can be found on www.gwladonline.org ).

Penalties

Penalties will be applied where land has been under or over declared, a breach of scheme rules has taken place or cross compliance requirements have not been followed.

under Declaration

Failure to declare all the contract land when claiming payment, may result in the Grazing Association’s Rural Development and Single Payment Scheme payments being reduced.

Where there is a difference between the area declared and the total area on the contract land that should have been declared, reductions in payments of the schemes will apply as follows:

Difference Reductionup to 3% no reduction in paymentmore than 3% and up to 20% 1% reduction in paymentmore than 20% and up to 50% 2% reductionmore than 50% 3% reduction

over Declaration

Where the area of a crop group is determined to be greater than that declared, the area declared will be used for calculating payments. Reductions in payments as a result of over-declaration generally apply to the scheme in which they are found. Where the over-declaration results in a penalty being carried forward to the following year it can be recovered from any due payment to the Grazing Association.

Crop groups are defined as areas of land receiving the same rate of aid

If the difference between the area declared and area determined for a crop group is more than either 3% or 2 hectares, but not more than 20% of the determined area, the area eligible for payment will be reduced by twice the difference found.

If the difference is more than 20% of the determined area no payment will be made for the crop group concerned.

Where the area declared is more than 50% of the determined area for a crop group, in addition to receiving no payment for 2013, the claim in the next calendar year will be reduced by an amount that is equal to the amount which corresponds to the difference between the area declared and the area determined.


18

If the full amount cannot be taken from the payments in the next calendar year, the remainder will be deducted from payments made in the following two years, as necessary. Reductions required in the three years following the over-declaration can be taken from any due payments to the Grazing Association.

Intentional over-Declaration

Land intentionally over-declared will result in no payment for that year if the difference in the area declared and the area determined within a crop group is more than 0.5% of the area determined or more than 1 hectare.

If the difference is over 20% of the area determined within a crop group, no payment will be made in that year and additionally, payments in the next calendar year will be reduced by an amount that corresponds to the difference between the area declared and area determined.

A false declaration made intentionally or recklessly may also lead to criminal prosecution, the maximum sentence being an unlimited fine or two years imprisonment.

Breaches of contract

Penalties will be applied to payments where there has been a breach of contract. Breaches may be identified from administrative checks or on-the-spot inspections and notification of breaches will be made in writing. Any reductions or exclusions will be based on the level of negligence or intentional action assessed by severity, extent and permanence. Reductions and Exclusions will also apply to payments made in previous years of the commitment. In serious circumstances the Glastir Commons contract could be terminated and may result in the applicant being barred from entering another agri-environment scheme for up to 2 years.

The Welsh Government assesses breaches against verifiable standards relating to the scheme eligibility criteria. A matrix is used to determine the level of penalty to be applied. The matrix is available from a Divisional Office or on the Welsh Government’s website www.wales.gov.uk.


19

Inspections and monitoring

The Welsh Government must enforce the Glastir Commons rules including making sure that Cross Compliance requirements have been met. Inspections will include on-farm inspections and the use of Global Positioning Systems, aerial photography and the use of satellite imagery. The Welsh Government has overall responsibility for ensuring inspections are carried out and will work in partnership with the various specialist enforcement bodies, such as the Environment Agency Wales on Cross Compliance inspections.

Inspecting officers will be required to verify compliance with scheme rules, including adherence to stocking levels on the contract land, land details, and the accuracy of any relevant documentation and record keeping. When it is necessary to inspect animals, all the animals on the contract land will need to be gathered in a convenient place, and sufficient labour and adequate safe handling facilities should be available.

Inspections will be spread over the year and will cover all the commitments and obligations which can be checked at the time of the visit. The Welsh Government and the specialist control bodies will try to ensure that visits cause the minimum of disruption, but some checks require inspections to be unannounced, which means it may not be possible to provide notice of a visit. Inspections may occur more than once during a calendar year.

Refusal to allow an inspection or obstruct an inspector or failure to provide reasonable assistance will result in loss of payment and may lead to prosecution.

Following notification of an inspection any requests submitted by the Grazing Association to change the contract will not be taken into consideration as part of the inspection.

Record Keeping

The Grazing Association must:

i. Retain any invoice, account or other document relating to Glastir Commons commitments for six full years after the final scheme payment.

ii. Supply to the Welsh Government any information about the Glastir Commons commitments as may be required, and supply that information within the period determined by the Welsh Government.

iii. Make available to the Welsh Government, its authorised persons or its agents, records, accounts receipts and other information including access to computer data relating to the Glastir Commons commitments. Permit the Welsh Government to remove any such document or record or take copies or extracts from them.

Force majeure and exceptional circumstances

The Welsh Government may accept that a Grazing Association was prevented from fulfilling certain obligations due to a course of events amounting to either force majeure or exceptional circumstances. If so, penalties may not be applied. Force majeure is defined as unusual circumstances, outside an applicant’s control, the consequences of which, in spite of all due care could not be avoided except at the cost of excessive sacrifice on their part. Examples of force majeure and exceptional circumstances which may be recognised include:


20

• Death of the applicant

• Long term professional incapacity of the applicant

• A severe natural disaster gravely affecting the contract land

• The accidental destruction of livestock buildings on the contract land

• An epizootic disease affecting part or all of the applicant’s livestock

Applications for force majeure or exceptional circumstance must be made in writing to the Welsh Government within 10 working days of the applicant being in a position to do so. Each notification will be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. For the Welsh Government to consider whether the event in question can be accepted as force majeure or exceptional circumstances, conclusive proof must be provided that the event has occurred. Grazing Associations should therefore ensure that their application contains all relevant evidence to support their case, which should be sent to a Divisional Office.

For Rural Development schemes force majeure and exceptional circumstances are available in respect of:

• Late submission of application

• The right to aid in respect of eligible areas declared on the SAF but no longer available to the applicant because of the force majeure/exceptional circumstances event

• The requirement for the partial or full reimbursement of aid paid

Appeals

The appeals process in Wales allows you access to an independent appeals procedure if you feel that the Welsh Government did not reach the correct decision according to the rules for Glastir.

The appeals process consists of two stages:

• Stage 1: review by the head of the Divisional Office

• Stage 2: review by an Independent Appeals Panel (if you are dissatisfied with the Stage 1 response). The Independent Panel make recommendations to the Minister for Natural Resources and Food.

The appeals process is concluded after the Minister’s decision has been issued. There is no charge for Stage 1 of the process but there is a charge at Stage 2 - £50 for a written hearing or £100 for an oral hearing. These charges are repaid in full if the Stage 2 appeal is either partially or fully successful.

You must appeal to your Divisional Office within 60 days of receiving a decision, which may affect your payments.

Further details of the appeals process can be obtained from your Divisional Office.

Annex 3 equine Identification & the semi-feral Ponies of Wales

the 2009 Regulations

Commission Regulation (EC) 504/2008 of 6 June 2008 introduced a derogation that applied to ponies living under wild or semi-wild conditions. This allows pre defined populations of wild or semi-wild equines to remain on designated areas without either a passport or micro-chip. Once these animals are moved from these areas they need to be identified and micro-chipped before a movement takes place. In addition the derogation allows animals from these pre-defined areas to be transported directly to a slaughterhouse provided it can be identified in such a way that it provides scientific guarantees as to the identity of the animal. The derogation allows owners to remove surplus animals from the commons / hills without incurring the additional costs of micro-chipping, a cost that in many instances may well be greater than the sum that these foals would fetch at auction.

Currently 2 applications for derogations have been received by organisations – the Hill Pony Improvements Society of Wales and Cymdeithas Merlod y Cameddau. Both have been awarded in principle by the Minister i.e. subject to management arrangements being maintained that provide the Welsh Government with sufficient guarantees as to the traceability of ponies.

hill Pony Improvement societies

There are 25 individual Pony Improvement Societies covering 23 hills and commons located as far apart as Gower, Llanwrtyd Wells, Radnorshire and the Heads of the Valleys. All ponies bred on these areas are eligible for full registration with the Welsh Pony & Cob Society as semi-feral Welsh Mountain Section A ponies. They operate under the rules laid down by the Welsh Pony & Cob Society and come together under the auspices of the Hill Pony Improvement Society. Ponies must be kept on the designated areas, belong to members of the individual Hill Pony Improvement Societies who have grazing rights on the commons and must be sired by premium stallions.

Further information can be found on the Welsh Government website.

cymdeithas merlod y carneddau

The Carneddau ponies are based in northern Snowdonia. There are approximately 150 semi-feral ponies owned by 7 different owners. The ponies are of Welsh Mountain type but owing to their unknown pedigrees are not associated with a studbook. The ponies come under the management of the Carneddau Mountain Pony Association who in 2007 signed an agreement with the Snowdonia Land Programme to secure the future of the ponies at Abergwyngregyn, Llanllechid and Llanfairfechan Mountain for at least 5 years.

Further information can be found on the Welsh Government website.

other semi-feral herds on common land

Only those ponies managed by the Hill Pony Improvement Society of Wales and Cymdeithas Merlod y Carneddau are covered by the derogation, all other ponies kept on common land are subject to the requirements of the Equine Identification (Wales) Regulations 2009.

Annex 5 Additional Information regarding Grazing Associations

Grazing Associations must draw up an Internal Agreement, to ensure that everyone who is involved in the Glastir Commons contract has a clear view of their role and responsibilities in the delivery of that Agreement.

setting up a new Grazing Association

Assistance can be obtained in setting up a Grazing Association from applicants’ representative bodies, a federation of commoners (if there is one covering the area), a land or agricultural agent or surveyor, or a solicitor specialising in rural practice. They may charge for assistance. Alternatively, assistance could be sought from the Common Land Development Officer (CDO) for the area. Please note that the role of the CDO will be to facilitate meetings between existing active graziers and encourage them to form an Association. It is NOT the role of the CDO to offer legal advice, nor to draw up any legal agreements between graziers. The contact details for CDOs can be found at Annex 6.

In order to set up a new Grazing Association, the applicants must have made all reasonable efforts to contact all parties with an interest in the common, and consider the following:

• whether to include persons who are entitled to rights of common (i.e. who do not currently exercise those rights; have the ability to graze the common in the short term; holder of sporting rights etc) as they might contribute to the delivery of the requirements of the Glastir Commons

• whether the landowner, because of the nature of their interest in the land (e.g. shooting interest, their grazing rights or other land management responsibilities), should be party to the Internal Agreement. Co-operation will be needed from a landowner whose responsibilities extend to the protection of environment features (such as archaeological remains, woodland and wetland, drainage and management of scrub and heather) which it is intended to manage under the Glastir Commons contract. Some landowners are in a position to exercise grazing rights or graze the excess.

Note the following category can be excluded:

• Persons entitled to rights of common but who do not exercise those rights, and have no capacity to exercise those rights, if they do not want to participate in the Grazing Association. However, the Grazing Association should consider what arrangements to make, should the persons subsequently gain the capacity to exercise those rights, and the effect that may have upon the Glastir Commons agreement.

sectIon G - AnneXes

32

In setting up a new Grazing Association applicants must have

• held a general meeting, whereby all commoners or graziers with rights to graze the common or shared grazing are invited; (The meeting should have been held at a suitable time and location, and all known right holders given due notice. The Grazing Association will need to prove that they have made reasonable efforts to contact all right holders and have advised them of the meeting. It is advised that all attendees are recorded and documented in the minutes of the meeting). An advertisement in the local press of notice of the meeting can be used as evidence that reasonable efforts to contact all right holders have been undertaken;

• consulted the landowner and other persons that may have an active interest in managing the vegetation on the common, e.g. shooting interest;

• agreed a constitution for the Association (it may be possible to obtain a draft constitution from any of the bodies providing assistance mentioned above, but applicants should make sure that the constitution meets the needs of the particular circumstances of the common or shared grazing);

• elected or agreed officers to manage the Grazing Association – a chairman, secretary and a treasurer are essential;

• authorised elected officers or an agent to conduct certain business on behalf of the Association (e.g. to enter into agreements, to open and operate a bank account)

If there is already a Grazing Association in place, then that is acceptable, provided that the Association is able to operate effectively and able to fulfil the minimum requirements for a new Grazing Association. In order to receive the support payment of £6.00 per hectare, (capped at a maximum of 500 hectares), the Grazing Association must have been set up for the purposes of applying for Glastir Commons
