§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment she has made of the European Commission's proposal to introduce anti-dumping tariffs on urea fertiliser originating from non-EU countries. [1591]
§ Nigel GriffithsI have been asked to reply.
49WThe Government did not believe the information available was sufficient for them to adopt a formal position on the European Commission's proposal. We have therefore asked for further work to be carried out in the likelihood that provisional measures will be imposed while the Commission continues its investigation. We will consult interested parties before taking a final view on definitive measures.
