HC Deb 07 December 1982 vol 33 cc478-9W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister for Trade, pursuant to his replies of 22 and 23 November, Official Report, c. 325 and 465, whether the European Economic Community has yet received a response from the Argentine Government on the resumption of trade; and, if so, of what character.

Mr. Peter Rees

[pursuant to the reply, 6 December 1982, c. 361]: The Argentine Government have recently responded to the joint approach made by the European Community on 29 October. The reply is being considered in conjuction with our EC partners. We continue to hope that this will result in the lifting of all trade sanctions between Argentina and Community countries.
