Subsidies on Bacon.
|
|
Subsidies on bacon exported by licensees.
|
40.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, there shall be paid by the Commission to every holder of a licence who exports any bacon (being bacon produced at the premises to which such licence relates), on or after the transfer date a subsidy on bacon so exported at the rate which—
|
| |
(a) is fixed by an order, in force at the time of export, made under the next following sub-section, and
|
| |
(b) is applicable under such order to such bacon.
|
| |
(2) The Commission shall, not later than the expiration of the month commencing on the transfer date, and may thereafter, whenever and so often as it thinks fit, make under this sub-section an order fixing the rate of subsidy on exported bacon, and the following provisions shall apply in respect of orders made under this sub-section, that is to say:—
|
| |
(a) in making an order under this sub-section, the Commission may—
|
| |
(i) divide bacon into such and so many classes (defined in such manner as the Commission thinks proper) as the Commission thinks fit, and
|
| |
(ii) fix different rates of subsidy in respect of different classes of bacon;
|
| |
(b) the first order under this sub-section shall be deemed to have come into force on the transfer date, and every subsequent order shall come into force on such day as may be specified in that behalf;
|
| |
(c) every order made under this sub-section shall remain in force until a subsequent order is made and comes into force.
|
| |
(3) The Commission may at any time by order (in this sub-section referred to as a suspending order) under this sub-section declare—
|
| |
(a) that no subsidy shall be payable under this section on bacon exported on or after a specified date, or
|
| |
(b) that no subsidy shall be payable on any class or classes (defined in such manner as the Commission thinks proper) exported on or after a particular date,
|
| |
and may at any time by order revoke a suspending order, and whenever a suspending order is made declaring that no subsidy shall be payable under this section on bacon or any class of bacon exported on or after a particular date, then no subsidy shall be payable under this section on bacon or such class of bacon (as the case may be) exported on or after such date and while such suspending order is in force.
|
| |
(4) In defining any class of bacon for the purposes of this section, the Commission may define such class by reference to the country to which such bacon is exported.
|
| |
(5) Every order made under this section shall be made with the concurrence of the Minister.
