147 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will pursue with the EC authorities the question of APS for cheddar cheese; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
In November 1992 I made a strong case to the EC Commission for the introduction of a scheme of private storage aid for Irish cheddar cheese. Since then, I have continued to press for this and will continue to do so as long as the need for such a scheme persists.
