I am informed that the only provision for which EU approval is outstanding is relief for certain leases of farmland found in section 81D SDCA 1999, which was introduced by section 74 Finance Act 2014.  The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine are liaising with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (DG Agri) in respect of obtaining approval for this provision.
