HC Deb 16 April 1973 vol 855 c32W
Mr. Shore

asked the Minister af Agriculture, Fisheries and Food who are the British members of the EEC's Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products; what are the rules of voting that govern its decisions; and what is its relationship to the Commission and the Council of Ministers.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

United Kingdom representation on this committee is provided by officials of the agricultural Department and the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce. The voting procedure corresponds to that laid down in Article 14 of the Treaty of Accession. The management committee advises on measures proposed by the Commission. When the committee's opinion is unfavourable, the Commission refers the matter to the Council of Ministers.
