§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what(a) labelling arrangements and (b) other measures exist as part of the anti-dumping action in relation to the importation of ammonium nitrate; and if he will make a statement. [13534]
§ Mr. Nelson[holding answer 30 January 1997]: Imports of ammonium nitrate fertiliser from Russia and Lithuania are currently subject to EU anti-dumping measures. An anti-dumping duty of ECU 102.9 per tonne applies in the case of imports from Russia, while Lithuania has undertaken to restrict her exports to the UK to 100,000 tonnes per annum. Labelling provisions for ammonium nitrate and other fertilisers are contained in the Fertilisers Regulations 1991, as amended. There are no special labelling requirements associated with the anti-dumping measures.
