Question:139 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the disadvantages of a January-December milk quota year with reference to the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 69 of 4 November 1993.
Written Answers. - Milk Quota.
The seasonality of Irish milk production makes it easier for farmers to manage their quota in a quota year ending in March rather than December.
I would point out again, however, that the milk quota year is defined under Community legislation and there is no prospect of a redefinition in the foreseeable future.
