EU Regulations stipulate that milk purchasers must, not later than May 15^theach year forward to the competent authority of the Member State, a statement for each of their milk producers showing the quantity and fat content of the milk delivered for the quota year.

In the interim my Department is gathering preliminary information in order to give an earlier estimated position. I expect to be in a position to make this information available on my Department’s website very shortly. The most recent position, based on returns submitted to my Department by milk purchasers to the end of February, indicated the country was estimated to be 1.26% over quota.
