'No’ to cheese
Hopes that the Common! Market might allow moreji New Zealand cheese to be i imported are nothing more i than wishful thinking, ac- < cording to European Com- < mission officials in Brussels. The Minister of Overseas < Trade (Mr Taiboys) said yes- 1 terday the Agriculural Com- 1 jmissioner (Mr F. O. Gunde- i pach) had repeated that he would raise the question of further New Zealand cheese imports with the commission in due course. But Brussels sources have ; now indicated there is virtually no hope at all that ' New Zealand will be permit-; 1 'ted to send more cheese. i;
! Last year it sent 15,000: ; tonnes of cheese to Britain | and there was some hope that the Dublin Declaration of 1975 might leave the door open for more. European Commission; officials, however, interpret: the declaration, which agreed to review the position, as indicating an end to New Zealand cheese imports after 1977. Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and France are all opposed to any extension for cheese and are being encouraged to produce more, to meet a growling demand.
