§ Mr. DavidsonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list those countries which are presently refusing to permit the import of British beef. [104872]
§ Ms QuinAmong the EU member states, only France and Germany still ban British beef. Outside the EU, there are a variety of import bans, some of which are UK-specific, some are EU-wide and some apply to countries which have registered BSE cases among their cattle. British beef can, however, be exported to those non-EU countries with which we have so far agreed the necessary export health certification, i.e. Cyprus, the Falkland Islands, Hong Kong and Mauritius.
