§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a table showing the European Economic Community production and consumption levels of the main agricultural items covered by the European Economic Community in the five most recent years for which figures are available; and if estimates have been made by the European Economic Community of the comparable figures for the current year, following the recent policy decisions on prices for all products and of production curbs for certain items
§ Mr. MacGregorInformation on production and consumption of the main agricultural products is contained in the EC Commission's annual publication entitled "The Agricultural Situation in the Community". The details requested for the main commodities are contained in the "markets" section of the reports for 1980 to 1983, copies of which are in the Library of the House.
I am not aware of any comparable estimates produced by the EC Commission which take into account the outcome of the recent negotiations on the common agricultural policy.
