These Regulations implement Community Instruments that make provision for EU-funded support for measures in Member States through the framework of rural development programmes. They, among other things: regulate the making of applications for grants; make provision for the enforcement and recovery of grants payable under these Regulations and for offences; require a beneficiary to retain appropriate information and records in relation to matters being funded by payments of grant under these Regulations. A beneficiary must give the appropriate body such written undertaking in respect of such period or periods as the appropriate body considers appropriate for the purposes of these Regulations.
