Regulation 13 Temporary transfer of quota

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

For the purposes of Article 6 of the Council Regulation (which deals with the temporary transfer of quota), and subject to paragraph (5) below, 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) below refers, of all or part of any unused quota which is registered under regulation 24 as permanently held by him for a period of one quota year to that other producer.

(2)

The Intervention Board may require a reasonable charge to be paid for the registration of any temporary transfer of a quota, but only if 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 considered likely to come to the attention of producers.

(3)

Where there is an agreement to make a temporary transfer of quota under paragraph (1), the transferee shall notify the Intervention Board of the agreement in such form as may reasonably be required by the Intervention Board, and shall submit the notice, accompanied by any charge payable under paragraph (2), to the Intervention Board no later than 31st December in the quota year in which the agreement is made.

(4)

No producer shall agree with any other producer to make a temporary transfer of quota which would result in a reduction in the total direct sales quota or total wholesale quota available for use by dairy enterprises located within a Scottish Islands area.

(5)

Until 31st December 1997, where a producer who holds special quota received under Council Regulation 2055/93, temporarily transfers of any quota held by him, the special quota shall be taken into the national reserve for the duration of the quota year in which such temporary transfer takes place.
