Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mark Menzies and Mark Garnier

Thursday 3rd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Trade (Mark Garnier)]

Export tariffs on food products, and on animal products in particular, are determined outside the provision of trade agreements. They are determined in terms of licensing based on the quality of the food products, on a separate basis.

[Mark Menzies (Fylde) (Con)]

T5. Yesterday I welcomed to Parliament a group of business leaders from Mendoza in Argentina. They want to increase our exports exponentially, which currently stand at 0.1%. Will the Minister assure me that everything will be done when we leave the EU to improve our trade relations with Latin America?
