Written Answers. - Sugar Quotas.

289.

Mr. N. Treacy

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will negotiate an increase in both A and B surgar quotas for the severely disadvantaged western area from the EC authorities and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Deasy)

Sugar quotas are allocated nationally and not to specific areas. I will of course be endeavouring to secure the most favourable arrangements possible for the Irish industry when negotiations commence.
