One of the results of the negotiation of the Agenda 2000 package was an increase of 2.86% in our national milk quota amounting to 32 million gallons. Already 20.5 million gallons has been allocated, 15 million gallons being allocated to 21,600 producers with quotas of less than 55,000 gallons and a further five million gallons to 3,100 younger dairy farmers with quotas of less than 35,000 gallons. I set aside 500,000 gallons for distribution by the milk quota appeals tribunal to special exceptional cases arising out of the operation of the general distribution.
