§ Mr. Moateasked the Secretary of State for Trade what are the implications for the United Kingdom paper and board industry of Greek accession to the EEC; and what transitional arrangements are involved.
§ Mr. ParkinsonImports of paper and board from Greece already enter the EEC duty free. Greek tariffs and other non-tariff barriers on imports from the EEC will be phased out progressively in the five years after Greek accession. The overall implications for the United Kingdom industry are likely to be small, though there should be some increase in export opportunities.
