52. Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what effect the recent price review will have on the ACP countries who supply cane sugar to the United Kingdom and the EEC.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The guaranteed prices for ACP sugar for the 1979–80 delivery period have been agreed between the supplying countries and the EEC, following negotiations held on 27 June, at 42.30 ecu per 100 kg for white sugar and 34.13 ecu per 100 kg for raw sugar, representing an increase of 14½per cent. in line with the increase in support prices for Community producers.
