HC Deb 01 July 1992 vol 210 c639W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the outcome of the Agriculture Council held on 30 June.

Mr. Gummer

I represented the United Kingdom at this meeting of the Council.

The regulations implementing the Council's decisions of 21 May on common agricultural policy reform and on 1992–93 farm prices were formally adopted. Despite pressure from some delegations, no changes were made to the agreement. The Commission made a number of declarations on subjects of concern to particular delegations, but these do not commit the United Kingdom or the Council.
