HC Deb 22 January 1990 vol 165 cc570-1W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food under what EEC provision the West German Government have banned the import of beef from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Maclean

The German Government have not banned imports of beef from the United Kingdom. I do not consider that the conditions they have imposed on such imports are consistent with Community rules.
