HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c347W
52. Mr. Hardy

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the present agricultural policies within the European Economic Community.

Mr. MacGregor

The Commission's most recent statements about the CAP emphasise the need to respect the decisions on budgetary discipline and CAP reform taken by the European Council last February, to promote more market-orientated management of the CAP, to make Community agriculture more competitive, to pursue environmental objectives, and to tackle CAP fraud.
