Vol. 477 No. 2

Written Answers - Sheepmeat Quota Regime.

Joe Walsh

Ceist:

307 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the progress, if any, to date under the Netherlands' Presidency of the EU in relation to the promised review of the sheep regime; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9184/97]

Following the presentation of a review of the sheepmeat quota regime to its December meeting, the Council of Ministers requested the EU Commission to examine a number of proposals, initiated by Ireland, relating to the effect of the sheepmeat regime on the environment. The Commission has not yet completed this exercise. I will continue to press to have this examination completed as soon as possible.
