Vol. 547 No. 1
265 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when the guidelines governing eligibility for additional milk quota to be distributed to members of the milk rights group will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1089/02]
The eligibility criteria for the scheme to allocate 32 million litres of milk quota to milk producers who satisfy certain criteria were announced on 20 November 2001. Some minor modifications to the scheme were announced on 8 January 2002, including the extension of the closing date for applications to 28 February 2002.
Under the scheme quota will be allocated to eligible producers whose initial allocation in 1984 was low due to certain circumstances.
