Agriculture: Eggs
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proposals they have to ensure fair competition for United Kingdom egg producers within the European Union.
- Answer
-
The Government want to protect all producers who have complied with the conventional cage ban, whether in other member states or UK, from any competitive disadvantage. UK enforcement is set out in the Written Ministerial Statement of 6 December 2011. Since then member states have submitted lists of producers who have complied with the ban on conventional cages to the Commission to aid enforcement and to ensure fair competition.
