§ Mr. TredinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current state of relations between the EEC and Poland.
§ Mr. MaudeRelations are excellent based on a trade, economic and commercial co-operation agreement signed in September 1989. The Community's aim is to support and encourage economic liberalisation and political reform; it has agreed in principle a substantial package of assistance for Poland which includes free food, trade concessions, European investment bank lending, and aid for agriculture reform, environment and training. The EC Commission is also co-ordinating broader western assistance to Poland.
