Vol. 257 No. 5

Written Answers. - Liquid Milk Content.

90.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if there is a requirement in the latest draft regulations in regard to an EEC common policy for liquid milk that liquid milk contain 3.5 per cent butterfat; and if he will indicate the implications of this for Irish producers.

The question of adaptation to the EEC requirement of a 3.5 per cent minimum butterfat content of liquid milk is among the matters currently being discussed in Brussels in connection with the negotiations for Ireland's entry into the EEC. As the question is still under discussion, I am not at present in a position to indicate the implications for Irish producers.
