§ Sir Richard BodyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give a breakdown of expenditure by country under European Union document 9201/97. [12593]
§ Mr. RookerDocument 9201/97 concerns a Commission proposal to augment funding for the quality beef promotion scheme by up to 20 mecu. However, as this proposal has not yet been agreed by the Council, expenditure has not yet been allocated. Should the 707W proposal be adopted, it is expected that a breakdown of expenditure by sponsoring member state and by the implementing trade or inter-trade organisation, will be available in due course. Organisations may, however, operate in more than one member state.
