HC Deb 26 March 1973 vol 853 cc217-8W
49. Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in view of the recently announced removal of quantitative restrictions on cotton yarn imports from the EEC Mediterranean associates, what action he plans to take against those associate members which operate a system of unfair practices against the United Kingdom.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The EEC agreements which provide for the removal of these restrictions also contain safeguards which may be invoked if serious economic disturbances arise either in the Community or in a member State.
