HC Deb 06 July 1988 vol 136 c605W
31. Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next proposes to meet his colleagues in the European Community; and what subjects will be on the agenda.

Mrs. Chalker

My right hon. and learned Friend expects to meet his European Community counterparts at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels on 25–26 July. Items on the agenda are the renegotiation of the Lome convention; trade negotiations with Czechoslovakia; the establishing of the court of first instance; and, possibly, issues arising from the Hanover European Council. Ministers will also discuss the appointment of judges to the European Court of Justice.
