HC Deb 19 March 1984 vol 56 c357W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, further to the reply of 5 March, Official Report, column 438, on the cost of export restitutions under the EEC budget, whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the quantities of each product in 1983 and those for 1984 used to determine the forecast.

Mr. MacGregor

The Commission does not publish details of the quantities of products on which export restitutions have been paid. The figures given in the earlier reply for expenditure in 1984 were based on estimates made by the Commission that export restitutions would be paid on the following quantities of the products concerned:

'000 tonnes
Cereals 20,600
Sugar 2,900
Wine 250
Butter 465
Skimmed Milk Powder 450
Other milk products (milk equivalent) 10,000
Non Annex II No details given
