Written answers

Allocations of milk quota from the milk quota national reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the milk quota appeals tribunal. The tribunal was established to consider and advise on applications for additional quota from individual producers who have suffered severe hardship in the context of the milk quota system.

The person named has submitted an application for additional quota on the grounds of hardship in the current milk quota year — 2004-05. The tribunal will endeavour to examine all applications before the end of the quota year. All applicants will be notified of the outcome as soon as their case has been considered.
