§ Sir John HuntTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what offers of expertise, technical assistance or equipment have been made to the Danube riparian states to prevent the use of the River Danube in avoiding the sanctions imposed by UN Security Council resolutions 713 and 757.
§ Mr. GoodladThe United Kingdom took the lead in setting up EC/CSCE sanctions assistance missions to advise the Governments on the enforcement of sanctions. The United Kingdom has contributed both personnel and equipment to these missions. They are now in place in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Ukraine and Macedonia. We have also offered £100,000 to enable states on the Danube to procure communications and other equipment for use by local customs authorities.
