HC Deb 17 January 1979 vol 960 c751W
38. Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is satisfied with the progress being made towards enlargement of the EEC; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Judd:

Yes. Considerable progress has now been made on the Greek application. We hope that the negotiations can be completed early in 1979. Negotiations with Portugal, which started in October, are continuing. The Council decided at its meeting in December formally to open negotiations with Spain in February.
