§ 31. Mr. Marlowasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimates his Department makes with regard to the impact of world supply and demand for grain over the forthcoming year on the cost of agricultural support.
§ Mr. MacGregorWorld supply and demand for grain is one determinant of the cost of the Community's export refunds. The Commission therefore takes it into account in forecasting expenditure in the cereals sector, and my Ministry scrutinises these forecasts as part of the process by which the Community's budget is adopted.
