Vol. 488 No. 4

Written Answers - Beef Marketing.

Ceist:

159 Mr. Coveney asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food whether the buy British beef campaign, which is damaging Irish beef exports to the United Kingdom, is partially EU funded; if he has raised this issue with the EU Commission; and, if so, its response, if any, on the matter. [6476/98]

EU funding is only available for generic promotion of beef. The Meat and Livestock Commission, which organised the promotional campaign for British beef, is funded in the main from producer levies. The EU Commission has been informed about the promotional campaign.
