Ivan Yates

Ceist:

119 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the position in relation to the review of the milk quota arrangement and when this review is expected to be completed; and if he has decided on any likely changes.

Ivan Yates

Ceist:

147 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if, in relation to the EC Commission and Council of Ministers and the temporary cessation of quota which occurred in early 1987, compensation will continue to be paid, or whether farmers will be compensated through a cessation scheme for the removal of this level of milk production.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 119 and 147 together.

Negotiations on the future operation of the EC milk quota regime are currently under way. Final decisions are due to be taken before the end of this year and in that context, the question of the future of the 4.5 per cent quota suspension will be dealt with.
