§ Mr. Marlowasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, further to his answer of 19 February, Official Report, c. 227, he will list those parts of the French agricultural aid package announced in December 1980 which he considers to be incompatible with the Common Market.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithI understand that the package includes direct income aid within specified limits to producers of certain products including milk, poultry, maize and meat. I believe these income aids to be incompatible with Community rules. The position on other parts of the package is less clear. Responsibility for deciding whether a State aid is compatible with the rules rests with the Commission.
