	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>Complexity in CAP rules and the interpretation that EU auditors place on regulations is the root cause of many disallowance corrections. Since 2010, steps taken by Defra have allowed the disallowance penalties incurred in England to be steadily managed at around £50m per year. Throughout this period the Government has challenged claims for disallowance through mediation in the EU and since 2010 reduced the amount of disallowance levied by €285m.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department’s Annual Report and Accounts provides provisions of £64.5m for future disallowance related to historical audits. While future disallowance penalties are difficult to predict, the Government is concerned that the new Horizontal Regulation amends the way that penalty rates are calculated, introducing a ratchet effect, which could greatly increase proposed disallowance penalty corrections, even if the same standards of implementation are maintained. The UK Government believes that a proportionate penalty scheme in the Horizontal Regulation is a priority for CAP simplification and the mid-term review of CAP regulations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/09/2015 15:54:50 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2017 answer text <p>The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was amended in 2014 specifically to include a separate penalty of up to 3 years imprisonment for a dog attack on an assistance dog. This is, however, within the overall single offence of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control. Dog attacks on assistance dogs are therefore not recorded separately. As part of their campaign to change the law Guide Dogs UK reported in June 2013 that there were around ten such attacks a month.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 14/03/2017 14:41:17 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

However, since agreement was reached on the Common Agriculture Policy in June 2013, the Right Honourable Owen Paterson MP, the former Secretary of State, exchanged letters with the Agriculture Commissioner on the needs of the cane refining sector. My Right Honourable friend’s letters, sent on 22 July 2013 and 8 January 2014, stressed the importance of competition in the sugar market and the need for a reduction in tariff barriers for raw cane sugar in order to maintain this. In his replies, the Commissioner promised to take these issues into account. <br></p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 22/07/2014 10:18:03 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
