§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether West Germany has been authorised to take national measures to help their farmers as a result of the price settlement under the common agricultural policy.
§ Mr. Gummer[pursuant to his reply, 14 May 1986, c. 485]: This year's price-fixing agreement did not include authorisation for the introduction of national measures to help farmers in West Germany. Any aids which the German authorities might decide to offer would have to conform to the treaty of Rome and be notified to the Commission accordingly.
