Allocations of milk quota from the National Reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The Tribunal examines and makes recommendations on applications for additional quota from individual producers.
There is no fixed allocation to successful applicants. The amount of milk quota available for distribution through the scheme each year is limited, and particularly so in the years in which demand increases due to a greater probability of the national milk deliveries exceeding the country's quota.
On the basis of the information supplied by the named person, the Tribunal recommended an allocation of 3,000 litres. This recommendation has now been approved and notification has issued to the named person and his Co-op.
