HC Deb 06 March 1973 vol 852 cc88-9W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what regulations prevent United Kingdom eggs from being imported into the EEC countries, in particular France.

Mrs. Fenner

No commercial restrictions on trade in eggs are permitted between member countries of the Community. We understand that French public health regulations prevent the import of eggs from countries which do not prohibit the use of certain additives in feeding stuffs. We are not aware of any other regulations among Community countries which might affect trade in United Kingdom eggs.
