HC Deb 24 January 1994 vol 236 cc94-5W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to raise with the Greek presidency of the European Union allegations of breaking of European Union-backed sanctions by Greek companies in providing oil and military equipment to Serbia.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Since the imposition of sanctions on Serbia and Montenegro we have been in close contact with the Greek Government over alleged sanctions breaches by Greek companies. As a result of our representations the Greek authorities have initiated a number of prosecutions against sanctions violators.

We shall continue to make representations where we receive reports of alleged breaches. We have seen no evidence of Greek involvement in the supply of military equipment to Serbia.
