The Dairy Produce Quotas (Wales) Regulations 2002

Temporary transfer of quota

14.—(1) For the purposes of Article 6 of the Council Regulation (which concerns the temporary transfer of quota), a producer may agree with any other producer to make a temporary transfer, other than a temporary transfer of a kind to which paragraph (4) refers, of all or part of any unused quota which is registered under regulation 23 as permanently held by him or her for a period of one quota year to that other producer.

(2) The National Assembly may require a reasonable charge to be paid for the registration of any temporary transfer of quota, provided that the transfer takes place within a quota year in respect of which it has announced before the beginning of that quota year that it intends to make such a charge, in such a manner as it considers likely to come to the attention of producers.

(3) Where there is an agreement to make a temporary transfer pursuant to paragraph (1), the transferee shall notify the National Assembly of the agreement in such form as the National Assembly may reasonably require, and shall submit the notice, together with any charge payable pursuant to paragraph (2), to reach the National Assembly no later than 31st March in the quota year in which the agreement is made.

(4) No producer shall enter into an agreement to make a temporary transfer pursuant to paragraph (1) which would result in a reduction in the total wholesale quota or total direct sales quota available for use by dairy enterprises located within a Scottish Islands area.
