HC Deb 14 December 1978 vol 960 c267W
34. Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to announce his decision regarding the EEC proposal for a sheepmeat regime.

Mr. Bishop

Technical examination within the Community of the EEC Commission's proposals continues but significant progress is unlikely pending the outcome of the case brought by the Commission against the French in the European Court of Justice regarding their import controls.
