Dr. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the number and nature of notification made since May 1979 by (i) by the Federal Republic of Germany and (ii) France to the European Commission under Euratom treaty articles 103 and 104, regarding draft contracts for exports of nuclear technology and materials to non-European Economic Community member states.
§ Mr. MellorThe information requested is not readily available, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Information is provided directly by individual member states to the Commission and we would not normally be informed of agreements or contracts involving other member states.
