I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 to 138, inclusive, together.
An application for the transfer of milk quota to the person named was made to my Department. In considering this application, my Department took account of all the documentation submitted directly by those persons involved in this case or by their legal representatives. All correspondence was dealt with in my Department without delay.
Having considered the application, my Department was not satisfied that the proposed transfer was in accordance with EU Regulations 3950/92 and 536/93 and with the European Communities (Milk Quota) Regulations, 1995 (S.I. No. 266/95). Accordingly, the transfer of milk quota to the person named was not effected.
