Description (What the record is about)

The preserved records in this series chart the implementation of the provisions of the EEC Co-Responsibility Regulations which came into force in the United Kingdom on 1 July 1988. This was a policy response designed to control the cost of cereal surpluses.
The levy sought to regain from farmers some of the price they received for their cereals. Principal United Kingdom legislation is The Cereals Co-Responsibility Regulations 1988 which superseded the Cereals Co-Responsibility Regulations 1986. They provide for the administration, collection and enforcement of co-responsibility levy imposed in respect of specified cereals by Article 4 of Council Regulation(EEC) 2727/75. In the United Kingdom co-responsibility levy was collected by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority on behalf of the Intervention Board of Agricultural Produce. The Levy ran until 1995.
