HC Deb 12 December 1974 vol 883 cc237-8W
Mr. Crawford

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the compensatory payments per carcase from France and Germany into the United Kingdom; and what are the compensatory payments per carcase from the United Kingdom into France and Germany.

Mr. Bishop

Under the EEC system of accession and monetary compensatory amounts, subsidies are payable on carcase beef imported from France or Germany into the United Kingdom, and charges are levied on exports from the United Kingdom to France or Germany. The rates of subsidy or charge can be altered frequently and current rates are published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
