Allocations of milk quota from the national reserve are granted on the basis of recommendations from the milk quota appeals tribunal. The tribunal examines and makes recommendations on applications for additional quota from individual producers. The person named applied to the tribunal in the current 2005-06 quota year and the tribunal examined his application in January. It did not recommend an allocation of additional quota on that occasion and the person has been notified of this outcome.
