The information available to me with regard to the price of sugar in the EEC countries relates to the average ex-factory prices in those countries excluding Luxembourg. The average ex-factory prices per ton are as follows:
|
Germany |
£105.89 |
(Period January/ November, 1971) |
|
France |
£83.35 |
(Period January 1971/ January, 1972) |
|
Italy |
£139.49 |
(Period January 1971/ January, 1972) |
|
Netherlands |
£96.89 |
(Period January 1971/ February, 1972) |
|
Belgium |
£93.56 |
(Period January 1971/ December, 1971) |
In comparison, I understand that the average ex-factory price for sugar sold by Comhlucht Siúicre Éireann Teoranta was £90.30, period April 1971-March, 1972.
