6 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will make a special case to the European Commission to have additional milk quotas made available to dairy farmers in the Border region, particularly those with less than a 30,000 gallon quota; if he will seek this additional allocation under the European Union's operational programme to promote peace and reconciliation in view of the importance of dairying on both sides of the Border, the need to regenerate the economy in that region and the positive effects that additional quota would have in sustaining viable family farm enterprise; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
