‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Food Exports Promotion. Barcelona Food Fair Representation
Summary
O’Keeffe blamed inadequate Department funding for CTT and CBF’s limited presence at the Barcelona fair; the Minister said CTT had made its own decision, while Noonan disputed that account.
Does the Minister of State not agree that the reason CTT and CBF were not properly represented at the Barcelona Food Fair in Spain, which is one of the new entrants to the EC and which must be a market which will be available to us, was a lack of finance from his Department? Would the Minister not agree that it was an appalling situation for them to have to put their products on view on a British stand?
Comment on this
The CTT decision was their own. I am not aware that it was a matter of a shortage of funds.
