The possible introduction of a pilot scheme for the allocation of milk quota to farm managers was discussed at the milk quota review group last week. The milk quota review group is a group comprised of representatives of the farm organisations, the processing sector, technical advisers and my Department which advises me on matters relating to the management of Ireland's milk quota.

I am considering the review group's recommendation in this matter and I will announce a decision shortly.
