Vol. 270 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - EEC Grain Market.

13.

asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries his attitude to the "de-regionalisation" of the EEC grain market.

Since we are a net importer of cereals the level of our market prices for home-grown cereals is set, not by intervention prices, but by the higher prices at which imported cereals are available. A system of single intervention prices for wheat and barley should not, therefore, alter the present position.
