HC Deb 19 February 1981 vol 999 c179W
34. Mr. Cockeram

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the operation of the new European Economic Community sheepmeat regime.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Representations have come from the export trade, which is concerned about the present arrangements for clawback of variable premium on exports. We have secured certain improvements in respect of exports to third countries and will be seeking further improvements in the Commission's forthcoming review of export policy for sheepmeat.
