View answerUnder the provisions of the EC milk quota regulations for 2000, SI 94 of 2000, a person who wishes to temporary lease all of his quota must first obtain a ministerial declaration under the provisions of Regulation 27 of the regulations mentioned. As the person named applied for and was not granted a declaration under Regulation 27, it is not possible to grant approval to temporary lease his quota in respect of the 2005 dairy premium. It is open to the person named to appeal the decision under Regulation 27 to the milk policy division of my Department.
