There was also the distinct possibility that a bad harvest would allow the grain to be brought out of intervention . The other way of disposing of intervention wheat was subsidized sales on the world market. This was the feature that the traditional wheat exporting nation objected to most strongly . if the EEC price was higher than the world price , which it usually was, then imports from outside the EEC had to pay a levy . this provided strong financial motive to try and move from using Canadian wheat .the British wheat that was mainly used instead was not , and is not , as fundamentally well suited to making bread by a long process.
