	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what checks are carried out to ensure that lamb imports from New Zealand are whole carcasses and not part joints.
	tabling member constituency	Tewkesbury
	tabling member printed	Mr Laurence Robertson
	uin	66009
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text New Zealand is able to export up to 288,254 tonnes of sheepmeat duty free to the EU under a tariff rate quota. The rules governing the operation of the quota laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1354/2011 express the quota in terms of carcase weight equivalent. Operators in New Zealand are able to use the quota to export lamb joints and cuts, as well as carcasses, and the Regulation lays down a series of coefficients to convert boneless and bone-in cuts into a carcase weight equivalent. Veterinary checks on products of animal origin are carried out by Port Health Authorities at Border Inspection Posts. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) customs declaration processes for non-EU imports ensure that all products of animal origin have been issued with a valid Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED) before the consignment is cleared by customs in the UK. answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/03/2017 15:05:38 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	tabling member constituency	Tewkesbury
	tabling member printed	Mr Laurence Robertson
	uin	66101
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text Farmers using knapsacks to apply pesticide products authorised for use by professionals only must hold a certificate. Certificates are awarded to candidates passing a test of their knowledge of how to apply pesticides safely using their chosen equipment. There are different categories of certificate, so those using only a knapsack sprayer do not need to show that they can use a boom sprayer. Candidates for the test will normally first take a short training course, but this is not mandatory. answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/03/2017 15:01:11 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>“Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit” consulted on how public money for public goods can be at the heart of our new agriculture policy.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation has now closed and we are analysing responses. The environment is an essential public good and the Government is clear that it is right to minimise the use of pesticides and to make the greatest possible use of other techniques, including non-chemical alternatives, to protect crops.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the 25 year environment plan – “A Green Future” – included a firm commitment to putting Integrated Pest Management at the heart of our approach to support sustainable crop protection with the minimum use of pesticides. We can do more with improved crop husbandry, the use of natural predators and plant breeding to ensure resilience to pests and diseases. This will enable reduced and more targeted use of pesticides.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 18/06/2018 12:07:09 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
