HC Deb 03 November 1992 vol 213 cc140-1W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will set out the level of trade, both exports and imports, with Serbia and Montenegro for each month in the current year by each main category of commodities.

Sir John Cope

I have been asked to reply. Trade with Serbia and Montenegro has been identified separately from that with the other former Yugoslav republics since 1 July 1992.

The figures for the subsequent months are recorded as follows:

Imports £ Exports £
July 215,783 Nil
August 206,938 33,477
September Nil 45,379

A further breakdown by commodity cannot be published at this time as this would identify individual consignments. Both imports and exports for Serbia and Montenegro require licences and the goods permitted to be exported are strictly for medical purposes, foodstuffs and humanitarian aid.
