HC Deb 22 January 1975 vol 884 c373W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how much coal is being imported by the EEC from Poland; and what is the average price per ton of such coal.

Mr. Eadie

The latest available information for the Community as a whole is that published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities in "Energy Statistics Yearbook 1969–72" and covers 1972. In that year 10.8 million tonnes of coal was imported from Poland by the enlarged Community with an average frontier value for all countries except Ireland of 17.11 units of account of the European Communities. This figure is equivalent to £7.1 per tonne.
