Vol. 415 No. 8

Written Answers. - Compensation for Mulder Farmers.

Bernard Allen

Question:

385 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will make a statement on a recent European Court ruling by the Advocate General that Mulder farmers denied the production of their milk quotas are entitled to compensation for their losses during the mid-1980s.

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

While the Advocate General has delivered an opinion, the European Court's ruling in this matter has not yet been made, so it would be inappropriate for me to make a statement at this time.
