(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply throughout the United Kingdom and come into force on 31 January 1989, amend the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 1986 ("the principal regulations").
Regulation 8 of the principal regulations dealing with the arrangements for the transfer of quota when a holding is sold leased or transferred by inheritance is modified. The amendment enables the Minister to decide that where a transfer has not been notified to him in writing by the transferee before a date in the following quota year to be determined by the Minister, the unused quota transferred with that transfer shall be deemed not to count as any part of the transferee's quota entitlement for the quota year in which the transfer took effect and shall be treated generally as if it was unused quota of the transferee in that year and also that a transferee shall not be entitled to demand, as a result of the transfer, that an amendment be made to the amount of quota reallocated to him at the end of the quota year in which the transfer took effect. A decision by the Minister for this purpose, together with the date determined by the Minister, must be announced by advertisement published in the Gazette and the farming press at least two months before that date or, where such publication is not possible, by such other means of publication as the Minister considers likely to come to the attention of producers.
