§ Mr. Wattasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps in conjunction with his EEC counterparts to have initiated a sales campaign designed to get rid of dairy products rather than build up large intervention stocks; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BishopThe EEC Commission has submitted to the Council a document containing a number of suggestions for dealing with the present market situation in milk products. As I explained in my statement on 24th July, certain measures, intended to help deal with the surplus of skimmed milk powder, were adopted by the Council on 21st-22nd July and there will be further discussion of the situation in September.
