Allocations of milk quota from the national reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The tribunal is a body established to consider and advise on applications for additional quota from individual producers who have suffered severe hardship in the context of the milk quota system.

The person named last applied to the tribunal in the 2000-01 milk quota year but there is no record of him having applied in the current 2003-04 quota year. While the deadline for application in respect of the current quota year has passed an application may be made for the 2004-05 quota year when the application forms become available in the autumn.

Allocations of milk quota from the national reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The tribunal is a body established to consider and advise on applications for additional quota from individual producers who have suffered severe hardship in the context of the milk quota system. It also examines applications from producers whose herds have been restricted by animal disease in the current quota year. The persons in question submitted an application for additional quota on the grounds of animal disease and the tribunal recommended a temporary allocation for the 2003-04 quota year. The persons concerned and their co-operative have been notified of this allocation.
