Regulation 13 Temporary transfer of quota

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 22 as permanently held by that producer for a period of one quota year to that other producer.

The Scottish Ministers 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 they have announced before the beginning of that quota year that they intend to make such a charge, in such a manner as they consider likely to come to the attention of producers.

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

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.
