(2) Where the Minister, after the date of establishment of the Board, grants a licence, he may request the Board in making an allocation (production quota) order to allot to the premises in respect of which such licence was granted a specified proportion of the production quota in respect of the production period to which such allocation (production quota) order relates, and the Board shall comply with any such request. | ||
(3) In allotting under an allocation (production quota) order a portion of the production quota in respect of a particular production period to any licensed premises, the Board shall, subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding sub-sections, have regard to— | ||
(a) the obligations of the licensee in respect of such premises under any order made by the Minister under section 2 of the Agricultural Products (Regulation of Export) Act, 1933 (No. 26 of 1933), as amended by any subsequent enactment, and | ||
(b) in case such allocation (production quota) order is made during the year 1935 or the year 1936, the quantity of bacon produced in such premises during the period of twelve months ending on the 31st day of December, 1934, and | ||
(c) in case such allocation (production quota) order relates to the production quota in respect of any production period commencing on or after the 1st day of January, 1937, the quantity of bacon allotted to such licensed premises under allocation (production quota) orders in respect of the production periods corresponding as nearly as possible to the twelve months immediately preceding the commencement of such first-mentioned production period. | ||
(4) As soon as an allocation (production quota) order has been made, the Chairman shall not later than five days before the commencement of the production period to which such order relates cause to be served on each licensee of licensed premises a notice (in this Part of this Act referred to as a production notice) in writing stating the proportion of the production quota in respect of such production period which has been allotted to such premises by such order. | ||
(5) The Board may, on the joint application of the holder of a licence in respect of particular premises and the holder of a licence in respect of other premises, transfer from such first-mentioned premises to such other premises the whole or any part of the production sub-quota for such first-mentioned premises in respect of a particular production period, and thereupon the production sub-quota for such first-mentioned premises in respect of such production period and the production sub-quota for such other premises in respect of such production period shall, for the purposes of this Part of this Act, be deemed to have been respectively decreased and increased accordingly. |
