HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 cc650-1W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in what form the proposals arising from the Bremen Conference of EEC Heads of State will be made; and if they will be placed before the respective national Parliaments prior to the next meeting in December.

Mr. Judd

The European Council, on 6th and 7th July, set a number of guidelines to he followed up as appropriate by the Council of Ministers or the Commission. It is too soon to say in what form proposals for action will emerge from this further consideration. Any which involve the preparation of Community legislation will automatically be subject to the normal scrutiny procedures.
