Mr. Prisk: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what representations her Department has made to the
European Union regarding reducing agricultural protectionism; and what research she has commissioned into the effects this may have
on the United Kingdom economy. [86206]
Mr. Morley: We are committed to phasing out agricultural protectionism in the European Union. We seize every opportunity to make
this clear to other member states, especially in the context of the current World Trade Organisation negotiations and the continuing
discussions in the Agriculture Council on the mid-term review of the CAP. A recent estimate prepared for the Commission suggests
that a 50 per cent. global cut in protectionism in agriculture could generate a welfare gain of up to $27 billion. The benefit for
the EU as a whole was estimated at $17 billion.
