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 application in question was examined by the Tribunal at the final meeting of the 2006/07 quota year last week. The results of that meeting are being processed and notification of the outcome will issue to the person and his co-op shortly.
