Written Answers. - Milk Quota.

Deputy Michael Creed Deputy Michael Creed

Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the likelihood of a super levy on milk production here for 2007/2008; and if in view of the global market for milk and an anticipated 3% quota increase in 2008, she will ensure that there will be no undue financial penalties levied on Irish dairy producers arising from over production in 2007.

Deputy Mary Coughlan Deputy Mary Coughlan

1345

Deputy Mary Coughlan: The current milk [1345] intake position shows Ireland as being 0.35% above quota for the period to September 30, 2007. The super levy penalty on excess milk production is set down under Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003. Member States must abide by the terms of the Regulation and I have no discretion in the matter.
