§ 26. Mr. Whitneyasked the Secretary of State for Trade if his expectation on 25th May 1978 that the Governments of other members of the European Community would request their national companies operating in South Africa to publish detailed annual reports similar to those required of British companies in accordance with annex 3 of Command Paper No. 7233 has been fulfilled.
§ Mr. DellAll member Governments of the Nine have adopted the text of the code of conduct and have commended it to their employers organisations, but no others have so far issued detailed guidance, comparable with annex 3 of Cmnd 7233, for the contents of companies' reports. We shall continue to impress upon our partners in the Nine our strong views in favour of a common reporting format and common reporting dates.
