HC Deb 06 July 1973 vol 859 c236W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods if the EEC now intends to sign any new International Sugar Agreement.

Mrs. Fenner

At the first session of the UNCTAD Conference to negotiate a new International Sugar Agreement, the consensus of opinion favoured the negotiation of a new five-year agreement. The Community will be reviewing its position, in the light of this opinion, in time for the second session of the conference which begins in September.
