Regional and seasonal transfer limits

Summary

Leonard asked for safeguards against transfers between regions, and Treacy proposed allowing co-op changes only at a specified time of year. Deasy said regional safeguards were being made and saw no objection to the timing proposal.

Will the Minister agree that, due to the substantial transfers of milk during the cessation scheme, it is necessary to ensure that any scheme does not involve transfers from one region to another?

Comment on this

We are making provision to see that that does not happen.

Comment on this

Will the Minister consider specifying a period in the year when changes may be made from one co-op to another to ensure the viability of the co-ops and that farm management is geared towards the maximum production of milk?

Comment on this

I do not see any objection to going along those lines.
