Dr. Spink

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what benefits the European Union EMC directive 89/336/EEC will bring to United Kingdom industry and distribution. [17416]

Mr. Ian Taylor

The Electromagnetic Compatibility directive harmonises relevant technical requirements throughout the European economic area, thus providing manufacturers with access to a very large market free from barriers created by national regulations. It will help to increase UK competitiveness in the international market place.
