Dr. Kim Howells
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the average British fees for veterinary product licensing; and what are the comparable level of fees levied in other EC countries.
Mr. Maclean
A wide range of fees is charged for veterinary medicines licensing based on an estimate of the full economic cost of assessing each type of application. I do not have sufficient information to make a useful comparison with fees charged in other EC countries or the basis on which they are set.
