§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for 1970, 1979 and 1985 the tonnage of each agricultural product disposed of to non-European Community countries under the common agricultural policy and the cost to the European Economic Community budget.
§ Mrs. Fenner[pursuant to her reply, 21 April 1986, c. 44]: In view of the large number of commodities which are covered by the CAP, it is not practicable to give the information requested for each product. The table provides details of exports for the main commodities. The cost to 316W the EC budget of export refunds in 1970 was 1,205 mua which cannot be directly compared with later years. Expenditure on export refunds in 1979 and 1985 was 4,732 mecu and 6,588 mecu respectively.
