Throughout the consultation process leading to the establishment of the Milk Quota Trading Scheme, meetings were arranged with all the main farming organisations. The membership of these organisations included dairy farmers interested in both buying and selling milk quota. My Department also met a representative delegation of the so-called 'Milk Quota Owners Group'.

I announced the results of the first Trading Scheme today and this will be followed by a further short period of consultations with the main farm organisations and I would be happy to consider a submission from this group.
