§ Mr. Nicholas Bakerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will impress on the EEC Commission the urgent necessity of ensuring fair competition in the EEC egg production industry, in view of the increase in imports of cheap eggs from France and the deteriorating position of the United Kingdom egg production industry.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe Commission is aware of the concern in the United Kingdom about the egg industry and we are discussing the issues with representatives of the industry. I have at present no evidence of unfair competition on which to base an approach to the Commission.
