§ Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from which EC budget the recently agreed 40 million ecu of EC food aid for Romania and Bulgaria is to be paid; and from which Department's budget are Britain's contributions paid to that budget.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesThe European Council on 10 December 1990 agreed 100 mecu of emergency food aid for Romania and Bulgaria; 30 mecu will come from savings in the 1990 agriculture budget. Following consideration by the 21 December Council, discussion continues on the source of the remaining 70 mecu. The United Kingdom share of this 100 mecu will form part of our contribution to Community own resources in line with all other EC budget expenditure.
