HC Deb 18 May 1998 vol 312 c280W
Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the number of United Kingdom farms which will be ineligible for CAP support under the Agenda 2000 proposals; and if he will estimate the equivalent number in each other EU member state. [41358]

Mr. Rooker

Any farmer who, at the time of application, fulfils the eligibility criteria for support set down in the regulations proposed by the Commission, or in any future detailed rules necessary for the implementation of those regulations, would be entitled to the appropriate CAP support payment.
