§ Mr. RookerA range of representations have been received concerning the recent CAP reform in the cereals sector. Consultations will be held shortly on implementation of the discretionary elements of the arable reform. The Berlin Summit agreement made no reference to sugar beet, as the arrangements in this sector will be reviewed next year. Representations on sugar are already being made. The Government believe that this sector too requires reform and we will be consulting shortly on what shape that reform should take.
