HC Deb 15 January 1976 vol 903 c213W
Mr. Jay

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on what foodstuffs the EEC is now paying export subsidies.

Mr. Bishop

At the present time, export refunds are payable from the Community to third countries in all commodity sectors in respect of which there is provision for such refunds, and it would require a disproportionate amount of work to detail all the individual products involved. So far as the United Kingdom is concerned, Community refunds on exports are abated by accession compensatory amounts and monetary compensatory amounts. At present refunds, after abatement, are payable on exports from the United Kingdom mainly in the milk products sector and on some items of beef and veal, processed cereals and other processed products.
