§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to persuade EEC Ministers to establish the same standards for poultry meat inspections as are required in the United Kingdom thereby achieving parity in costs to the poultry industry throughout the community.
§ Mr. WigginResponsibility for ensuring that Community directives are properly implemented by all member States lies with the EEC Commission. Commission officials are at present making arrangements to check in detail how each member State is implementing the Community legislation on poultry meat hygiene. We favour this development as a step towards ensuring that the legislation is applied to a similar standard throughout the Community.
