BRITISH PIG EXECUTIVE AND STANDARDS OF IMPORTED PORK

That this House congratulates the British Pig Executive on its continued campaign to raise awareness of the impact of cheap imports of pork and processed pork products on domestic pig producers' ability to compete on a level-playing field and on animal welfare; applauds the Executive's continued efforts in promoting the Quality Standard Mark via the lookforthemark.co.uk website; notes the recent research findings in the `Pork Quality Standard Mark Report' that 93 per cent. of consumers believe pork should not be imported if it does not meet the minimum standards required in the United Kingdom; notes in particular that 75 per cent. of consumers believe it is important to have the Quality Standard Mark logo on pork; and urges those supermarkets not currently requiring all pork products to carry the Mark to reconsider their policy.
