HC Deb 14 February 1985 vol 73 c261W
47. Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress has been made in eliminating national operating aids given to fishing industries in other European Economic Community countries.

Mr. MacGregor

The European Commission has undertaken a comprehensive review of all national aids in the fisheries sector and is instituting action where those aids are considered to be incompatible with Community law.
