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 submitted an application to the Tribunal seeking an allocation of additional quota on the grounds of animal disease. This application was examined on 15th September 2011. Based on the information contained in the application, the Tribunal did not recommend an allocation of quota on that occasion.

The person named, subsequently submitted an appeal to this decision. The Tribunal examined the appeal on 10th January 2012, however, it was decided to uphold the original decision, which must now be considered as final.
