HC Deb 06 July 1981 vol 8 c55W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals are contained in the EEC Commission's proposals for the disposal and marketing of food production in excess of the proposed quotas of production which would qualify for EEC intervention and price support; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The commission in its report on the mandate of 30 May 1980—COM (81) 300/3—recommends the adjustment of agricultural guarantees in line with Community production targets for each sector, but it has not at this stage made detailed proposals on how this would operate.
