 ON-LINE GRAIN MARKET DATA

Data from the EU grain market management committee of the European Commission is now available on-line.  The grains unit of DG Agriculture in the European Commission holds weekly management committee meetings, where measures to manage the EU cereals policy (for example, levels of export subsidies to be granted, import and export license policy, etc.) are discussed with Member State government representatives and farmer's grain organizations.  This data will be updated on Thursdays at 7 pm Central European Time (1 pm U.S. East Coast time).
