U.S. dairy deals criticised
PA Washington A New Zealand Dairy Board official has strongly criticised the sale of 28,000 tonnes of surplus United States dairy products to Egypt, and has warned of a prospective United States dairy deal with the Soviet Union.
Mr Edward Farrell, the Washington counsel for the New Zealand Dairy Board, said America, for its own purposes, seemed to be switching from a freetrader in the dairy area to a user of subsidies. “The New Zealanders
have lost an ally in their fight against subsidised dairy sales,” he said.
The subsidised sale of butter and cheese to Egypt and the prospective dairy deal with the Soviet Union break a promise by the vice President, Mr George Bush, in May last year, that the United States would not dump its dairy surplus on the world market. Mr Farrell said America seeks to counter the dairy subsidies of the European community, but that deals would badly affect New Zealand, which does not use subsidies.
