FEOGA (Hansard, 10 February 1999)

HC Deb 10 February 1999 vol 325 c285W 285W

§ Mr. Hoyle
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will estimate the UK contribution in the current financial year to the FEOGA budget. [69323]

§ Mr. Rooker
The UK contributes to the EU budget as a whole and not to one particular part. For the 1999 EU Budget, the UK's gross financing share before abatement is 18.15 per cent. FEOGA accounts for around 47 per cent. of the 1999 EC Budget. Of the FEOGA budget, just over 2 per cent. is spent on tobacco regime.
