To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures to reduce unemployment were decided by the European Council at Corfu.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The European Council discussed the follow-up to the action plan to reduce unemployment which was agreed at Brussels. They endorsed the Commission's decision to set up a group of independent experts to examine the burden of Community and national legislation on business. They agreed a list of 11 priority trans-European network transport projects. They also received a report from the Bangemann group with recommendations for action to exploit opportunities in the field of information technology and agreed to follow up the issues raised in the report.
