27. Mr. Knox

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he intends to have further discussions with the Council of Ministers regarding the European Commission's proposal for a milk super levy.

Mr. Jopling

It will be for the Presidency to decide on how negotiations should continue on matters discussed at the European Council in Athens on 4–6 December, including the proposal for the supplementary levy on milk.

The next opportunity which Agriculture Ministers would have to discuss the supplementary levy would be at their meeting scheduled for 9–10 January 1984.
