The figures for the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce are net of various receipts treated as negative expenditure. Receipts from levies on the production and storage of sugar and isoglucose and on third country exports, which are regarded as Community own resources, are excluded.
Of the estimated outturn for 1989–90, £1,292.8 million is expected to be financed from the European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund (EAGGF); in 1988–89, £1,506.0 million was thus financed. However, because the United Kingdom is a net contributor to the European Community budget, the whole of this expenditure is attributable to the Exchequer. Receipts from the European Community do not always relate to expenditure in the period.
The individual figures may not add up to the totals due to roundings.
