answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>The European Commission submitted a draft negotiating mandate to the Council for approval on 4 September. The draft negotiating directives specify that the Commission may offer the United States a country-specific allocation of a certain proportion of the annual tariff rate quota for High Quality Beef (also known as the EU 481 grain fed quota). They make clear, however, that negotiations should not increase the total volume of the quota or total market access into the European Union.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>The High Quality Beef quota (also known as the EU 481 grain fed quota) established under the Revised Memorandum of Understanding of 21 October 2013 is an autonomous tariff rate quota not bound in the EU’s World Trade Organisation (WTO) schedule. The review of this quota consequently has no bearing on the apportionment of the tariff rate quotas in the EU’s WTO schedule between the UK and the EU-27.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 10/09/2018 14:14:45 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2017 answer text <p>Retaining tariff free access between the UK and the EU is a significant benefit to the food and farming sectors in both the UK and Europe. In 2015, the UK exported £7.5 billion of food to the EU, and imported £18 billion; for all agri-food and drink products this increases to £11 billion and £28 billion respectively. We aim to secure a mutually beneficial deal that delivers market access for the benefit of farmers and food manufacturers both in the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 23/01/2017 16:20:26 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
