Agriculture remains surprisingly strong for such a small country: the Dutch are big exporters of beef, pigmeat, chickens and dairy products. |
It is now possible to establish specific rules of application for the pigmeat sector. |
The agreement allows, among others, certain products in the pigmeat sector coming from third countries access to the Community market. |
Some of the demands go beyond the report because there is much which is out of kilter in the beef and pigmeat sectors. |
Producers are also incensed that much of the pigmeat being imported is not labelled with the country of origin. |
The British Pig Executive says the UK imports most of its pigmeat, 81 per cent of bacon and 45 per cent of pork such as ham, sausages, and chops. |
