164. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding an application to the milk trading scheme in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17243/14]
View answerThe Milk Quota Trading Scheme was the main mechanism for the transfer of quota between milk producers. The sixteenth and final stage of the Scheme had a closing date of 7th February 2014 and the results were announced on 31 March 2014.
I am informed that the named person was not successful with his application to purchase additional quota because there was no quota offered for sale at his Co-operative’s exchange.
Details regarding the outcome of individual applications have been sent to the Co-operatives for issue to its participating suppliers.
