§ Mr. TylerTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps she is taking to achieve equity on the application of milk quota controls in all European Union member states.
§ Mr. JackThe Government are always concerned to ensure that member states comply with their EC obligations. The Commission has direct responsibility for ensuring that the Community rules are observed. If there is 231W evidence that other member states are not applying milk quota controls, we are always ready to take the matter up with the Commission. Indeed, we have challenged the Commission's latest proposal to award additional quota to Italy, Spain and Greece.
