Treaty of Rome (Greek Accession)

HC Deb 12 June 1980 vol 986 cc300-1W

Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal by what methods he will be able to identify the level of continuing additional costs of Greek entry to the European Economic Community, subsequent to the Brussels Agreement.

Sir Ian Gilmour

The agreement of 30 May does not affect the ability of the Commission to identify the level of additional costs each year of Greek membership of the Community. These will represent the difference between gross Greek receipts from and contributions to the Community budget.
