Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent discussions she has had with (a) the European Commissioner for Development and (b) her European Union counterparts on (i) recent amendments to the `Everything but Arms' initiative and (ii) the implications of these proposals for (A) United Kingdom sugar producers and (B) ACP sugar exporters; and if she will make a statement. [153555] Clare Short: The Government have had ongoing discussions with EU member states and the European Commission on the `Everything but Arms' initiative (EBA), culminating in the adoption of the Presidency compromise to the proposal on 26 February. Central to these discussions was consideration of the implications of these proposals on both UK sugar producers and ACP sugar exporters. In these discussions, I made clear my belief that LDCs are not in the position to export large amounts of sugar in the short term. Details of the final agreement are such that imports of sugar from LDCs will be limited by quotas until 2006. It is now up to the European Commission to bring forward amendments to its sugar reform proposals to achieve coherence with EBA. But since the main impact of the agreement will be deferred until 2006-09, the short-term implications for UK sugar producers are likely to be modest. The proposals will have a more immediate effect on non-LCD ACP countries who will face increasing displacement of some of their exports. The UK will work with the EU, multilateral and other donors to ensure that their adjustment needs are fully taken into account in assistance programmes.

Mr. Peter Atkinson: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the latest developments in the foot and mouth epidemic. [152671] Mr. Nick Brown: At 12.00 pm there were 104 confirmed cases in the UK--103 in Great Britain and one in Northern Ireland--with a number still under investigation. The pattern is still consistent with Heddon-on-the-Wall as the oldest known outbreak, with subsequent spread mainly through movement of animals, particularly sheep. About 90,000 animals have been identified for slaughter of which 61,000 have been killed so far. Plans are in hand to render some of the carcases as an alternative to burning on farm. Over 260 abattoirs have been approved for the scheme by the Meat Hygiene Service of which 168 were operating yesterday. The Meat and Livestock Commission estimated yesterday that British pork production was back to 50 per cent. of normal, with beef at 40 per cent. and lamb at 30 per cent. In order to relieve emerging animal welfare problems officials are urgently working on arrangements to allow licensed local movement of animals within farms in uninfected areas only, where this would not increase disease risk. We hope to have proposals prepared very shortly. The EU Standing Veterinary Committee met on 6 March. The ban on UK exports of animals and products has been extended to Tuesday 27 March, but from 9 March the UK will be able to export unpasteurised cheeses to some countries. The SVC also imposed a ban on all livestock markets and assembly points in the EU for two weeks, and a ban on animal movements except to slaughter or from farm to farm authorised by the competent authority. All vehicles leaving the UK will have to pass over a disinfectant bath. The Commission remains very supportive of UK action against the disease.
