HC Deb 28 July 1989 vol 157 c1164W
Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list all the agreements under which Israel has privileged access to the European market.

Mr. Maude

EC/Israel trade relations are covered by the 1975 co-operation agreement and subsequent protocols to take account of the accession of Greece, Spain and Portugal to the Community. As a result, free trade in industrial goods between the EC and Israel came into effect on 1 January 1989. There are also specific concessions for some Israeli agricultural products.
