The first Milk Quota Trading Scheme ran successfully in January and my Department provided the Co-ops with full details of the results of the exchanges run for their areas. The Co-ops themselves have in turn been communicating those results to successful and unsuccessful applicants, as well as engaging in the necessary administrative follow-up.

The second stage of the scheme has a closing date for applications of the 9th March 2007, and the second exchange will be run in April. The same notification procedures will apply to the results of the second stage.
