Single European Market (Hansard, 2 March 1995)

§ Mr. Keith Hill
To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is planning towards the further development of a single European market.

§ Mr. Needham
I am continuing to take every opportunity to ensure even and effective enforcement of the single market. This includes the work of the single market compliance unit in my Department, which defends the interests of British business where single market rules are believed to have been broken, as well as support for European Community efforts to step up contacts between enforcement officials and to promote mutual recognition of national arrangements. I am pressing for further progress towards securing a full single market in telecommunications and energy.

§ Mr. Tipping
To ask the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he has for the 1996 intergovernmental conference for the further development of a single European market.

§ Mr. Needham
The Government will continue to take every opportunity to ensure even and effective enforcement of the single market.
