Farmers are being encouraged to highlight examples of unnecessary regulations.
Published by Louise Border.
The government is aiming to offer farmers based in England the chance to comment on any examples of regulation which they feel are unnecessary.
Meanwhile, the newly created Task Force on Farming Regulation has also revealed that it is providing people with the opportunity to flag up rules which they deem to be overly complicated in their current form.
Chairman of the task force Richard Macdonald believes that farmers can play a part in improving the current system of regulation that applies in England.
He stated: "This is a major consultation exercise to identify the issues and find solutions and we encourage all interested parties to submit evidence personally or through trade and representative bodies."
The government is also aiming to tackle regulation in broader terms, it has been announced, with business secretary Vince Cable recently confirming that a one-in one-out approach to new business rules will be adopted from next month.
