HC Deb 21 February 1977 vol 926 cc416-7W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the Council of Ministers has yet received any proposals for the future of the Fonds Européen d'Oriéntation et de Garantie Agricole grants to the fishing industry; what representation he has made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bishop

The new Processing and Marketing Regulation agreed by the Council on 14th–15th February will relate to certain projects now falling within the FEOGA Individual Projects Scheme. The Commission has made no proposals affecting other projects still covered by the scheme.
