§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the European Community is likely to accede to the International Sugar Agreement; and what progress has been made in negotiations on the subject.
§ Mr. Bishop:Informal explanatory talks are to take place shortly between the Community and a working group on accessions set up by the International Sugar Council. I hope that these talks will lead in due course to negotiation of terms on which the Community will be able to accede to the agreement.
