§ Mr. George Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he has any indications of a timetable for reducing Spanish tariff barriers to manufactured goods on the accession of Spain to the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. Channon:The issue is still under negotiation and must be seen as part of the overall settlement between the Community and Spain. However, the Community, with Her Majesty's Government's strong support, has made it clear that there must be satisfactory arrangements for the dismantlement of Spain's high tariffs.
