HC Deb 20 January 1993 vol 217 c287W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the proceeds of the tariff on bananas will be redistributed to Africa, Caribbean and Pacific area suppliers of bananas.

Mr. Curry

The Commission has proposed new aid measures to assist ACP banana producers. No decisions have yet been taken on these, but they would not be funded specifically from the proceeds of the tariff on bananas. Tariff revenues from all commodities are treated for budgetary purposes as Community own resources.
