The rules pertaining to the Milk Quota Trading Scheme provide that a son or daughter of a person who sold their quota into a Restructuring or Trading Scheme since 2000, subject to certain conditions, have priority to purchase up to an equivalent amount of the quantity surrendered by their parent(s). Accordingly if a parent of the named person has sold quota into a Restructuring Scheme, he may submit an application to purchase quota as a Successor in the Priority Category of a forthcoming Milk Quota Trading Scheme. Full details of this scheme are available from either his Co-operative or from the Department.
