# The Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 1993, Regulation 6: Adjustment of purchaser quota


(1) Where any wholesale quota is increased or reduced in accordance with the Community legislation or these Regulations, the purchaser quota of any purchaser to whom that quota is applicable shall be correspondingly increased or reduced.
(2) On any transaction to which the second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of the Council Regulation (which deals with replacements of purchasers and changes of purchasers by producers) applies, any purchaser whose purchaser quota has been increased by virtue of that transaction shall, no later than a date 21 days after the date of the transaction, submit to the Minister—
(a) a statement of the transaction, that is to say a statement setting out (in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of the Council Regulation, where applicable) the following particulars—
(i) the nature of the transaction;
(ii) the parties to the transaction;
(iii) the changes of purchaser quota of any purchaser to whom the transaction relates;
(iv) the changes in respect of matters referred to in regulation 25(2)(a)(vi) and (vii) which form part of the wholesale register entry of each producer to whom the transaction relates; and
(b) a declaration signed by the producer and the purchaser whose purchaser quota is to increase that the purchaser whose purchaser quota is to decrease has been notified of the changes the particulars of which are set out in the statement of the transaction referred to in subparagraph (a).
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), where during a quota year a producer changes from being registered with a purchaser to being registered with any other purchaser, for the purposes of calculation of levy liability under regulation 19 in that quota year, any purchaser with whom he is newly registered shall have its purchaser quota increased by an amount equivalent to such part of that producer’s registered wholesale quota as the producer shall determine.
(4) The amount of the increase of purchaser quota determined in accordance with paragraph (3) shall not include the amount of quota necessary to cover the deliveries made by the producer before the date of the change of purchaser, adjusted if necessary in accordance with the second sub-paragraph of Article 2(2) of the Council Regulation, which shall remain available to the original purchaser.
(5) At the end of the quota year referred to in paragraph (3), the purchaser with whom the producer is newly registered shall have its purchaser quota increased by such part of the producer’s remaining quota as he shall determine.
(6) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) above, the Minister may determine the date before which, in any quota year, any transaction to which the second sub-paragraph of Article 2(2) of the Council Regulation applies shall be notified to him, and the Minister shall announce any such date by such means of publication as the Minister considers likely to come to the attention of purchasers and producers.
(7) The Minister may provide such forms as he reasonably considers to be necessary for the purposes of this regulation.
