HC Deb 12 July 1973 vol 859 cc401-2W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he has agreed that, in the EEC negotiating mandate for the forthcoming GATT talks, the mechanisms of the common agricultural policy are not negotiable except for the few commodities where international commodity agreements may be possible.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The Community's overall approach to the coming GATT multilateral trade negotiations should be considered as a whole. The approach is consistent with the Community's agricultural objectives in the negotiations of further liberalising world trade and expanding it in stable world markets.
