HC Deb 20 April 1978 vol 948 cc302-3W
25. Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the current state of negotiations covering the formulation of the EEC sheep-meat regime.

Mr. Bishop

The EEC Commission introduced its proposals at the Council of Agricultural Ministers on 4th-5th April. No substantive discussion took place, and the proposals were referred for preliminary technical examination. The proposals will also be considered by the European Assembly and the Economic and Social Committee.
