Temporary transfer of quota

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

15.—(1) Subject to regulation 16(2), for the purposes of [F1Article 73 of the Council Regulation] (which concerns the temporary transfer of quota), a producer may agree with another producer to make a temporary transfer to that other producer of any unused quota which is registered under regulation 4 as permanently held by the producer if other quota (whether or not unused) remains so registered.

(2) Quota may only be temporarily transferred pursuant to paragraph (1) for such period as shall end on the 31st March in the quota year in which the transfer takes place.

(3) The Secretary of State may require a reasonable charge to be paid for the registration of any temporary transfer of quota if, before the quota year in which the transfer takes place, she has announced that she intends to make such a charge in respect of such transfers in that year in such a manner as she considers likely to come to the attention of producers.

(4) Where there is an agreement to make a temporary transfer pursuant to paragraph (1), the transferee must submit to the Secretary of State notice of the agreement, together with any charge payable under paragraph (3), so that the notice and any charge reach her no later than 31st March in the quota year in which the transfer takes place.

(5) A notice referred to in paragraph (4) must be in such form as the Secretary of State may reasonably require.
