HC Deb 25 January 1971 vol 810 c42W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what safeguards exist in the European Economic Community common agricultural policy to prevent dumping of agricultural produce by other members on the United Kingdom market.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The Treaty of Rome makes provision in Article 91(2) for the unimpeded return of goods to exporting Member States. In addition Articles 92–94 provide for action against unfair subsidies by Member States. For products subject to market organisation under the common agricultural policy, prices throughout the Community are supported at common levels by various means. The Community also has measures to deal with dumping by third countries. The arrangements which would apply during our transition to the E.E.C. system are the subject of negotiations.
