§ Mr. WelshTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received, and what discussions he has had, about continuing CAP reform compensatory payments after CAP reform has been phased in; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryThe CAP reform agreement reached in May 1992 agreed levels of compensatory payments over a three-year period up to and including the 1995–96 marketing year. In the longer term, I believe that compensation for support price reductions should be phased out over a fixed period.
