HC Deb 14 March 1983 vol 39 cc29-30W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the current costs in pound sterling for the common agricultural policy in respect of Mediterranean agricultural products; and what proportion this represents of total common agricultural policy expenditure.

Mr. Peter Walker

Budget appropriations in 1983 for support measures for agricultural products which are predominantly Mediterranean in character total about £1,900 million. This represents about 23 per cent. of total budget appropriations for the guarantee section of the EAGGF for 1983.
