Notes
Addressing the EU Agricultural Council in September Commissioner
Fischler acknowledged the legitimacy of the criticism by the Court
of Auditors that there had been overcompensation in the durum-wheat
sector. He argued that this was not an issue which the Council could
continue to 'duck'.
Comment:
Around a million tonnes a year of durum wheat is being used for
animal feed. Overcompensation may be one factor in the increased
exports of EU pasta products and the dumping of wheat in Southern
Africa.
