§ Mr. Bodyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the cost of disposing of the proposed 1,135,000 tonnes of cereals by the EEC by way of food aid will be borne by FEOGA.
§ Mrs. HartI have been asked to reply.
The cost, at world market prices, of the proposed 1,135,000 tonnes of EEC cereals food aid will be charged to the Community's food aid budget—title 9. The difference between the world market price and the EEC market price will be met by FEOGA—title 6—by way of food aid refunds. These refunds are similar to the normal export refunds paid on commercial exports when EEC prices are higher than world market prices, but their calculation is based mainly on an average of recent import levies.
