Adjustment of purchaser quota

6.—(1) Where any wholesale quota is increased or reduced in accordance with the Community legislation or these Regulations, the purchaser quota of any purchaser to whom that quota is applicable shall be correspondingly increased or reduced.

(2) On any transaction to which the second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of the Council Regulation (which deals with replacements of purchasers and changes of purchasers by producers) applies, or on any permanent conversion of quota under regulation 18, any purchaser whose purchaser quota has been increased by virtue of such a transaction (other than as a result of a temporary transfer of quota under regulation 15) or such a conversion of quota shall submit to the Intervention Board—

(a) no later than 28 days after the date the transaction or conversion takes place, and in any event no later than seven working days after the end of the quota year in which such transaction or conversion of quota takes place, a statement setting out particulars of the transaction or conversion; and

(b) where appropriate, a declaration made and signed by the producer that the purchaser whose purchaser quota is to decrease has been notified of the particulars set out in the statement referred to in subparagraph (a).

(3) The statement referred to in paragraph (2)(a) and the declaration referred to in paragraph (2)(b) shall be made in such form as may from time to time be prescribed by the Intervention Board.

(4) Where during a quota year a producer changes from being registered with a purchaser to being registered with any other purchaser—

(a) for the purposes of calculation of levy liability under regulation 20 in that quota year, any purchaser with whom he is newly registered shall have his purchaser quota increased by an amount equivalent to such part of that producer’s registered wholesale quota as that producer shall determine;

(b) the amount of the increase of purchaser quota determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) shall not include the amount of quota necessary to cover the deliveries made by the producer before the date of the change of purchaser, adjusted if necessary in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of the Commission Regulation, and such amount of quota shall remain available to the original purchaser; and

(c) at the beginning of the quota year following the quota year referred to in subparagraph (a), the purchaser with whom the producer is newly registered shall have his purchaser quota increased by such part of the producer’s remaining registered wholesale quota as that producer shall determine.

(5) Where the amount of wholesale quota available to a producer changes as a result of a transfer of quota under regulation 7, 13 or 15, or as a result of a conversion of quota under regulation 18, that producer shall notify the purchaser with whom his wholesale quota is registered within seven working days of the change.
