Mr. Drew: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the outcome of the Agriculture Council held in Brussels on
20 July; and if he will make a statement. [52143]
Dr. John Cunningham: I represented the United Kingdom at the meeting of the European Union Council of Agriculture Ministers in
Brussels on 20 July 1998.
The Austrian Presidency introduced its programme of work for the Council, the centrepieces of which are Agenda 2000 including wine
reform, reform of the agrimonetary regime and animal welfare legislation. In a debate on the Presidency's detailed plans for Agenda
2000, I welcomed their intention to press ahead with the negotiations in accordance with the timetable laid down by the Cardiff
European Council, urging them to include detailed discussions on member states' ideas on the future of dairy quotas and compensatory
aids and the application of subsidiarity to the proposed ceiling on direct payments to farmers.
During a brief discussion of the proposed reform of the agrimonetary regime, I stressed the need for equitable treatment between
those countries entering the Single Currency next year and those not doing so, and for an early decision which would enable our
farmers and traders ample time to prepare for introduction of the new regime on 1 January 1999.
In a debate on a possible EU trade agreement with the Mercusor countries and Chile, on which a Commission proposal is expected
shortly, I noted the economic advantages which such agreement could open up, whilst drawing attention to the need to avoid
complications in relation to the negotiations on Agenda 2000, the forthcoming WTO Round and EU enlargement. The Commission's
proposal should be judged on its merits against this background.
