383 Mr. N. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if an additional milk quota will be granted to a person (details supplied) in County Cork under the Agenda 2000 reserve. [17440/02]
I introduced a scheme for the distribution of the balance of the Agenda 2000 milk quota among certain producers. Producers who satisfy certain criteria and who had been involved in the farm modernisation scheme or the reduced interest scheme for farmers in financial difficulty during the early 1980s or who were affected by an outbreak of animal disease in their herds during the late 1970s were eligible to apply.
