HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 cc538-9W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 12 July,Official Report, column 509, what view the British Government have offered on whether the legal basis for the European Commission's proposed directive defining the set of services which may be reserved at national level should be article 90 or article 100A of the treaty of Rome.

Mr. Heseltine

[holding answer 20 July 1994]: We have made clear to the European Commission our view that it would be preferable for all directives implementing the single market in postal services to have as their legal basis article 100A of the treaty of Rome. We accept, however, that if satisfactory progress under article 100A proves impossible, the Commission could resort to article 90 for a directive setting limits to the services that may be reserved at national level.
