Foodstuffs

Mr. Spearing
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the conditions attached to the United Kingdom's current trade in foodstuffs with New Zealand and the quantities of main foodstuffs imported from New Zealand in 1974, together with the respective cost to importers and levies and duties paid in each category to the EEC.

Mr. Bishop
The United Kingdom's import trade with New Zealand is subject to the transitional arrangements laid down in the Treaty of Accession for the adoption of the Common Customs Tariff and the Common Agricultural Policy.------------------------------------------------
