229 Mr. N. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when he will introduce a scheme for dairy farmers (details supplied). [22762/01]
I provided for partnerships involving milk producers in the new milk quota regulations. This measure will be introduced on a pilot basis initially and will be subject to a detailed review after 12 months. The detailed rules for these partnerships are being finalised and I will introduce a statutory instrument to give effect to these rules as soon as possible.
